How to Change Region Settings?

[D.A.R.K.]

I'm from Brazil and I hate Portuguese, it's a poorly made language and 50% of it or is useless or dead by time, I hate it and because of that everything in my machine is in English, games, OS, web browser, everything...

There are some lazy game developers who don't add the language setting to their games, something I call out as a stupid thing because 2019 almost 2020 and don't add the minimum effort in a setting is stupid, BUT ANYWAYS... I want to change that.

There is some way to change my region only for that? I don't want to tell Steam I'm from another place, I want those game settings to me in English, not Portuguese. My settings are Brazil region because games are cheaper and there are some games that I can gift to friends and some that I can't because of that, basically Steam Store reasons.

But since developers will use that to justify their lazy ass, there's something I can do to NOT see Portuguese titles, menu, legend and, sometimes, voice in-game? In other words: Change my region set only for in-game settings?

The only thing I can offer as a suggestion would be to use a web browser for browsing the store, and let that translate for you.

Otherwise, youd have to go game by game to see how to change languages, usually by editing files if there is no native functionality. There is no universal Steam setting that controls game content.

Brazil is the only southamerican country to use Portuguese as their national language. It does have it's own twist on the language, kinda like the "German" that Austria and Switzerland use.
Which obviously something that aggravates the OP in an irrational manner.

I could argue that Brazilians are the "real" Portuguese speakers now, there being far more of them than the actual Portuguese at this point...as a point of digression anyways.

Oh, thanks. It didn't help for Pilgrims but it helped me for other games.

For some games you can edit appmanifest.acf
If you can find line for language, you can change it to English, save the file and make it read only.
