I first played it in English then I changed the language to Japanese, and Steam downloaded a 176MB file. When I switched it back to English, Steam again downloaded a 200+ MB file. Is there a way to change languages without having to download those files every time?

As far as I know, no. Also keep in mind that this game is a localization, meaning this is not a 1:1 translation. More about this here: http://www.siliconera.com/2010/09/13/carpe-fulgur-on-recettears-english-build-translation-vs-localization/

Thanks for the reply. Yep, I noticed that it was not a 1:1 translation (based on my very limited understanding of Japanese) when I changed the language to Japanese to try it out.

Bear in mind that "direct translations" are not only not always possible, but also a bad idea if you stick strictly to literal translations.

Every translation is a localization anyway, no matter if done by fans or professional entities.
