The playtest is English only. The 12 November 2026 post says it is not localized into other languages. The Steam store page lists English with full audio, and it does not list a second interface language. If you need subtitles or menus in another language, this build is the wrong week.

What full audio means here

The store language line marks English with an asterisk and says languages with that mark have full audio support. So the announced audio is English, not a silent prototype with text only. Dialogue is still on the known-issue list for the playtest, next to audio settings and sounds that misbehave. You may have English audio and still hit a broken line or a slider that does nothing. That is a bug to report, not a hidden language pack. Known issues has the list. Feedback has where to send it.

The diary and the store page use Swedish-flavored names on purpose: Sprýg, Skóug, Väsen, Rotinn, Molderökr, Lilvätt, Tjärn, Midgård. Those words stay in English sentences. They are not a Swedish localization. Learning them on Väsen is enough. You do not need a second language to follow the story.

Keyboards and language are different problems

A localized game and a keyboard layout are easy to mix up. The playtest also cannot rebind keys, and the studio says AZERTY keyboards may not play as intended. That warning is about the letters on the keys, not about French text. A French QWERTY keyboard is a different case from a French AZERTY keyboard. Controls tells you to use QWERTY for this build even if your reading language is English. An English speaker on AZERTY is still in the warning. A French speaker on QWERTY can press the binds and still cannot switch the menus to French.

Later languages

Early Access is where missing playtest features are supposed to return. The playtest post does not promise a list of future languages, and the store page has not added any. Watch the language block on the store page rather than a subtitle rumor. When a language appears, it will be a row on that block. Until then, plan on English voice and English text.

Verdict: Play the test if you can read English and you can use a QWERTY layout. Wait if you need another language. Nothing in the current posts gives you a subtitle pack to download.

FAQ

Are there English subtitles?

The store page does not break out a subtitle row. It lists English with full audio. Separate subtitle options are unpublished.

Will it launch in German, French or Spanish?

Those languages are not on the store list today. The playtest post says the test is not localized. A launch list has not been posted.

Do the Swedish names mean a Swedish audio track?

No. They are names inside an English game. The diary explains them in English.

Can I contribute a fan translation?

No mod or localization tools are announced. Send language requests through the studio Discord linked on official links, and expect English until the store page changes.
