Localisation

• Made the Localized language correspond to the Language Setting for ARK in your Steam Client, with the following supported languages (Thank you so much, volunteer ARK translators, you’re the best!!!!).Note: if you want to use a non-English language now, you must set it in the “Languages” tab of the Game Properties within your Steam Client, as the game does NOT automatically select your Steam Client language if it is already installed. You will only have to do this manually once, and it is automatically chosen for new ARK installations.

  English: en
  German: de
  French: fr
  Italian: it
  Spanish: es

  You can also directly override the language by using the following startup commandline (for dedicated servers, etc, where ‘en’ is one of the language codes listed above):
