Steam started autotranslating news how can I change this?
Steam started autotranslating gamenews and I do not want this.

I can read updates and previews and whatever else developers send to us in both english and my mothertongue and in the past most often i got news in english.
But since a few weeks more and more updates were autotranslated into badky done german.
Especially game specific terms like the names for items or such are often translated horribly wrong and sometimes apear with both names (the actual english name and the badly autotranslated name).
Is there any way to stop steam from doing that?
The only solution I have found is changing the entirety of my steam client from german to english. which is not ideal as now I will get autotranslated text in english should it originally be in a different language and it also affects the entirety of steam instead of just the updates.

An option were updates are in the original language and then can be autotranslated to another language when choosen would be ideal but I guess that does not exist? Is there any better solution than what I found?

Any help is appreciated, thank you very much,
Tam

I cant say what setam has change. ( but i remember old Origin EA client was in Danish so ofc game install Dainsh sim city online, i know you can sometimes change this in the game properties, but i end up with change mu client into english, and get away from local installations issue, if this is what steam did then they cant help you change to english, there is no way steam can fix your local language, then other ppl from your country want this local language.

I could also say why will local language not be steam client because you set it to that.

i call it steam client local language first choise issue. ( make it secound and see if that is the problem )

Dont mixup Location with this settings not sasme thingy.

https://steamhost.cn/account/languagepreferences

Primary Language English
my own is other.

I can't say, this is exatly what you are looking for. ( even external Browser has own Language today its complicated )

ps.
Dont forget our keyboard and country in the OS was the Original then all other follow that,
until you move ppl around and pc then it dont fit that locations.


ps.
as fare as i know last news was in english, but Denmark or Daneish is not in many games and so English is standard. this is not that easy if this is not same for you.

Same problem here, Some trailers from wishlist games are suddenly in french because my country has a dutch and french speaking part. But I want English back :)
