Is WARDOGS in your language?

The whole answer, in one table

Steam publishes a per-language matrix on every store page, and WARDOGS carries fourteen rows. It is collapsed behind an “English and 13 more” link on the store page itself, which is why this question keeps getting asked in every language except English. Here it is opened out.

Interface means menus, not voices

Thirteen of the fourteen rows carry a mark in one column only. Steam’s “Interface” column covers the text the game draws — menus, the buy screen, the HUD, settings — and nothing else. “Full Audio” means recorded speech in that language, and English is the only row that has it. So a player in Tokyo, Warsaw or São Paulo gets a translated interface and English speech.

The subtitles column is empty on every row

This is the part worth knowing before you buy, and it is easy to miss because an empty column looks like a formatting quirk rather than a statement. WARDOGS lists no subtitle track in any language, English included. Whatever is spoken is not written down for you in your language or in the one it was recorded in. If you rely on subtitles — because the game is not in your first language, or because you are deaf or hard of hearing — that is a published fact about the Early Access build and not an oversight in this page.

Changing which one you get

Steam sets a per-game language in the game’s Properties, and a title picks that up if it ships the language. That is Valve’s behaviour and it applies to every game on the platform, so it is the reliable lever. What we cannot tell you is whether WARDOGS also carries its own language selector in its settings screen, or which of the two wins if they disagree — BULKHEAD has documented neither, and we are not going to describe a menu we have not seen. This section gets rewritten against the launch build.

What the table does not promise

Three things, none of them stated anywhere official. Whether the list grows during Early Access: no additional language has been announced. Whether the translations are human or machine-made: not said, and the store table has no column for it. Whether audio localisation is planned for 1.0: also not said — BULKHEAD’s own description of the full version is that it will be “broader and more polished”, which is not a localisation commitment and should not be read as one.

Update, 10 October: the in-game LANGUAGE setting, per a launch-week guide

WARDOGS does have its own selector, according to an All Things How guide published on 11 September 2026, the day after Early Access opened, which builds on frames from two how-to videos. It sits in Settings under INTERFACE, not under GAMEPLAY or VIDEO, and it only takes effect once you press APPLY. It works from the main menu or mid-match. The same guide gives a way back if you pick a language you cannot read: with the game closed, set Language=en in GameUserSettings.ini under %localappdata%\Wardogs\Saved\Config\WindowsClient, then relaunch. The setting lives in that per-PC file, not on your account. BULKHEAD has not documented any of this, and this site has not checked it in its own client, so the Steam property above remains the documented lever.
