How to change language in game?

[Basemental Creature]

In the properties of the game there is no choice of language. The default game is in English. How to change the language to German for example?

Yeah, same question. I already finished it in English but I'm on my second playthrough and I would like to turn on Spanish subtitles but I can't see any option for it.

i think the subtiles come from the steam language... setup your steam to german or spanish and the game will use this language for subtiles...

for me works fine... i have german steam and hl alyx is in german

Changing the language of the Steam client

The Steam language setting determines which language the Steam client application displays, as well as the language which games are presented in. (Third-party titles may have their own language settings - these settings will generally be independent of the Steam language setting)

Log into your Steam account
Click on "Steam" in the top menu bar (this is in the very upper left of Steam on Windows, or in the menu bar above Steam on OSX)
Go to the Settings option ("Preferences on" OSX)
Go to the Interface tab
Select the language you wish to use from the drop-down menu
Click OK and then select the option to Restart Steam
Once Steam restarts, you will be able to use Steam and Valve games in the language which you selected.
If you have games installed that support the language you have selected, files for that language may need to be downloaded before you can play.

Thanks a lot but in all honesty what a silly way to set the language for the game. I prefer to have Steam in English and play the games in my language, Spanish. Most games allow to change that in the language tab on Steam or inside the game, which would be the ideal thing, I can't understand why this is different.

Thanks a lot for the help, KillerBoy!
