How to set it up in English? (TERRIBLE Spanish translation)
Unfortunately, the Spanish translation is a complete mess and there is a mission I am unable to complete because I guess the translation is just wrong.

For example the Fire button to fire a driver has been translated as "Fuego" which means 'flame'. There are many examples and it is just pointless to play the game in Spanish.

How can I set it up in English? The language selector is disabled.

entiendo que eres español..... yo tambien y no he notado que la traducción sea tan mala como para cambiarla.

Hola, sí soy español. Te pongo un par de ejemplos. Contrata a un conductor y mira tu lista de conductores. ¿Fuego para despedirlos?.

Vete a conducir y cuando estés en la ventana de configuración mira los valores de la derecha, en dos ocasiones pone "Configuración de espejo" donde claramente me imagino que ésa no es la traducción correcta. A lo largo del juego he visto muchos errores que no puedo recordar ahora, pero el que me está bloqueando ahora es una misión donde se solicita "Transportar al menos 180 pasajeros." Tengo el contador en 60 y no sube viaje tras viaje por lo que me imagino que hace referencia a otra cosa. No sé si es un bug o es otro error de traducción, claro. Pero visto cómo está traducido el juego y que no hay quejas por esta misión, lo lógico es pensar que está mal traducido (o incompleto).

Thank you for your feedback. We got feedback for other languages before the release and did extensive reruns on the localization, but Spanish wasn't brought up so far.

We'll have it checked again and will try to improve it asap. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thank you for the info bate, but while it is being reviewed, is there any option on how to change it to English please?

Sure, you should be able to switch the language within the game options.
You said it's disabled? Did you buy the game here on Steam?
MaTa Jun 14, 2018 @ 8:13am 
Yes, it is disabled and yes, I bought though Steam.
bate Jun 14, 2018 @ 8:37am 
Ah I see.
You have to leave your game and go back to the main menu and then go to settings.
Now it should be unlocked.

Unfortunately you can't switch languages while in a game, because of sound files that have to be loaded.

Great! It worked. Thank you very much for your fast assistance. Just a suggestion, if this field is disabled for that reason, maybe a hint there is needed explaining how to change this value :P

Good idea!

La verdad es que la traducción al español da mucha pena en todos los sentidos.
Ademas en la configuracion de controles, esta todo mal traducido y sin sentido, de hecho hay dos controles de "Freno de mano" que es evidente que uno de ellos esta mal escrito...

Esta peor traducido que el translator de google que ya es mucho decir....
Fuego > Despedir... en fin...

If the mentioned "sound files" are English and German voice files, I think that it can be solved by separating the settings by text and voice.

By the way, there is exactly the same problem in Japanese. "Fire" has been translated into flames. There are lots of other strange translations...

My initial game was in English

I can't change my language. It is set on custom but there is no way I can change it. Is there a way to change the language manually in the game files?

This might help you:
