I. First Way:

Right Click on the Icon on Steam and go to Properties - under launch options you type one of those lines

-culture="en"
-culture="en-GB"
-culture="de"
-culture="pl"
-culture="ja"
-culture="ko"
-culture="zh-hans"

II. Second Way

You have to edit this file with a text editor after launching the game one time (edit while game is closed:

C:\Users\{YourUser}\AppData\Local\TheAscent\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor\GameUserSettings.ini

IF YOU HAVE THE GAME ON XBOX GAMEPASS, try this to look here:

C:\Users\{YourUser}\AppData\Local\Packages\CurveDigital.TheAscent_1ezqdnbhnc70m\LocalCache\Local\TheAscent\Saved\Config\WinGDK

Add at the bottom add if not there and saveguard the file - eventually you have to turn on overwriting protection:

[Internationalization]
-Culture="en"

Thanks, how can change the language on steam deck plz?

Thanks for this.
For those who wants to use the second way, the "Culture" line to add to the file must be written without the minus sign in front of it. So it should look like this :

[Internationalization]
Culture="en"

For your inspiration of other languages, probably only the major ones, check out the following page with endings. I dont know which and how many languages are included in the game, I suppose most of the common ones.
