Changing the demo's language

Hi all,
Is there any way to change the game's language? I'm Polish, so the demo's in Polish for me, but I'd rather play in English, yet I can't find a way to do that. There doesn't seem to be any setting in-game, the steam's language setting does nothing and neither does reinstalling, even when I specifically choose the English language option. I couldn't find a config file containing the language setting in it either.
Thanks!

Hello! The game currently automatically detects the language set in your system, so to change the language in the game, you need to change the system settings. This will be changed in the next version. Then you will be able to choose the language in-game. Have fun! :)

well then don't detect Traditional Chinese as Simplified Chinese!
This is actually very offensive for a Trad. Chinese user who happens to be a translator by trade.

System settings means windows settings? if yes then this game is now unplayable for me.

Hey, no one had any bad intentions to offend anyone, thanks for the info, we will fix it. This is the demo the team has been working on after receiving feedback from the playtest, to get it to Steam Fest as promised, and to make it enjoyable to play for people speaking different languages. It will be possible to change the settings in the game with the next update.

one more thing, the S. Chinese translation is kinda bad even in it's own way. They translated "scan from bearing Blah thru blah" as "scan blah by using Blah as a way to do it" (i.e. misinterpreting the meaning of "thru"). And that's just one example.

TBH I don't blame you guys for this. There's like maybe 100 S. Chinese translator and maybe 10 T. Chinese translator capable of properly translating a video game with a subject like this in the entire Chinese-speaking world. You just have to find one of the few to do the job for you.
