[SOLVED] How to read Russian/chinese/... language in-game ?
Hello survivors !

The server where I just started to play is overflowd by russian.
They are talking in russian and have russian name. So the only thing I can see is : ||||||||||||.

I can't get the Ark name or Steam name, of the people who continuously kill me.

How can I add these language in Ark the be able to recognize them and fight back against my aggressor later ?

If they are talking in their language, I suppose there is a way to recognize the alphabet.

Thanks for your help !

It's called localization. You may find this link helpful : https://steamcommunity.com/app/346110/discussions/0/405691147595258499/

This really only applies if you can speak chinese or Russian, but there you go.

This actually won't help him. Easiest and the only way i know - switch your game language in steam settings menu or to add "-culture=ru" to your launcher config.
Obviously pick a different server.

I managed how to solve this issue without changing localization http://steamcommunity.com/app/346110/discussions/0/357287304425150649/

This is the way to solve Russian, But how to do for Chinese?
Folder ( RU ) is for Russian right?
