How do I find out what languages a game has before buying it?
I'm trying to get some video games that can be played in Spanish, as I am putting a fair bit of effort into learning the language.
I know how to change the language of a game and I can find the supported languages of any free-to-play game by adding it to my library and checking the properties (and subsequently removing it from my account if it doesn't have the right language). I also know how to search for games by supported languages. But I'm not sure how to find out what languages are supported on any given game and I don't want to do some stupid process like buying the game and then refunding it if it doesn't have the languages I want.
So, where can I find a list of supported languages on a game's page before purchasing the game?

Thank you

Does that only appear for some games? Because it's in such an obvious location that I cannot believe I wasn't able to find it until you told me where it is. Thank you, sir

It should, yes. I double checked 10 random games and it was present in the same area.

I can't guarantee it is there 100% as I didn't check all the games on Steam, but if it is, then it should always be in that area.

Sometimes we overlook the obvious, especially if we have never thought to look for it to begin with. It happens to everyone.

In order for a game to publish its store page, it needs to support at least one language. Games that don't support any language you have enabled on your Steam account are much less likely to be suggested to you. If a game has no text, Valve tells them to mark it as supporting all languages, which I think is a mistake.

Keep in mind this lists ALL languages supported but does not differentiate on region. Some languages listed may only be available in some regions where the title is sold. If you're lucky, the publisher will also include an orange framed box that tells you specifically which languages are available in your region. Although this is not always the case.
