If you are done with the tutorial messages, you can edit the file

Local: ../Steam/userdata/YOURID/1669000/remote/Profile/Settings.cgf/TEXT

(replace YOURID with your personal actual Steam ID number)

My Steam folder is located on a special SSD dedicated to games only. If you kept the default settings during installation of Steam, you might find yours at your OS storage drive within

C:\Program Files (x86)\

It would be something like this

C:\Program Files (x86)/Steam/userdata/YOURID/1669000/remote/Profile/Settings.cgf/TEXT

via editor. there you find the line Misc.Language=EN which seemingly keeps changing for you. If you make the file afterwards read-only, it should do the trick.

However, it sounds like a general permission issue, wheras I recommend you make sure that you start Steam and the game always as administrator. In Windows it suffices if you mark the executables accordingly.

I got the same problem, I have to change back language every time I restart, and I'm not keen on manually editing conf file and put it in read-only, as I guess this could mess with coming updates

Minor bug anyway, but if one day it gets fixed, it would be appreciated :)

As mentioned above: you can set the related apps to run in administrator mode. Just add the launcher to the list above.

Update: I found an easy fix. After starting the game from your steam library the launcher opens were you can start the actual game. In the top right corner you can select your language. This will directly translate into the game and won't change back after every restart.

That is a surprisingly easy and straightforward "feature"...
