: Copy the file and paste it into a safe folder to ensure you have a backup.

This method is for users who have a "repack" (FitGirl, RG Mechanics, etc.) or a disc version that only includes one language track. You don't need to re-download the game. You just need to move files.

: Rewrite the text to your chosen language format (e.g., change it to Language=english ). Use lowercase formats if the original text used them.

Whether you bought a second-hand key, downloaded a digital copy that defaulted to German (Deutsch), Russian (Русский), or Polish (Polski), or simply want to hear the commentary in English or Spanish, you don't need to buy the game again.
