How to filter out non-English games?

[mfkndggrfll]

I keep seeing games on the store with chinese names and sometimes completely chinese descriptions when I clearly set my store preferences to English only.

Is this some sort of sick joke? Now that Valve gave us 10 tags to filter out of the store we start to get games with chinese names and descriptions?

Also why does the store settings tell me that "If possible" it will try to display content in English? Why only "if possible" and not all the time? Imagine if a parent set his store to not display mature content and it said that "if possible" it would avoid doing so, imagine the outrage it would create. Why is it different for language?

Re-read it again. It's not an excuse i'm making, it is you who trying to make excuse that you want to blame Steam for Devs/Pubs doing. Know the difference.

https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/3145094199298224776/?tscn=1539533770#c3145094199301540414

But the game I linked goes beyond having a non-English title, it has a full non-English description. What is your excuse for this being okay?

Im pretty sure that Valve has the power to force them to use English titles too. Its not the devs who own the store.

If you look at Mega Man 11 released for Nintendo Switch, you wont see a Japanese title on the box cover. Same goes for Playstation Network which is also an online store. Now what is your excuse for Steam not being able to do the same.

Again, not my excuse, but yours for blaming Steam for the Devs/Pubs doing.... Idk why I need to repeat that.

The devs gets to choose how they want to setup their store, different language is not a offensive thing, nor is it a discrimination to anyone, which is why you need to understand Steam will not bully, or attack someone that's not using english only.... Just because Steam is from the US, doesn't mean they must make everything english only, including the fact they went full out International digital retailer. Again once more, I make it clear to you, Steam doesn't name the titles, the devs/pubs does, they put titles, and etc up on their store page, Steam will only step in if there's a guideline broken such as offensive discrimination, cash grab, false advertisement. and etc.

If there was a game that wasn't following the guidelines for false advertisement then you report the store, which why the report button exist.

Dont try to act like Steam isnt 100% responsible of what it displays. No, Chinese language is not 'offensive' but it is an issue if its displayed in English clients.

Steam being international is not an excuse for mixing up content from different regions. Imagine if Steam started displaying some prices in other currencies too?

Steam doesnt name the title but somehow the PSN Store is able to sell Mega Man 11 without the extra Japanese.

Capcom assigns the names to their games on each store.

Steam is a store front... What do you not understand???
Did Steam make that game?
Did Steam write all the details on the store page for that game on behalf of the dev/pub?
Did Steam say you're not allow to use another language?

If you realize this by now, great, if not, then there's nothing left to say other than you got problem you have to deal with yourself. As I said the Steam is a international retailer, it's expected to get games from other countries, people using different languages.

" Imagine if Steam started displaying some prices in other currencies too? "
They do... They support other currencies, USD is not the only supported currency...

Valve forces nothing and the store page is 100% done by the product owner.

and the chinese parenting game might pop up on the front page because it is popular on Steam. you have an ignore function for that.

^This is a factor also need take in as well, the game may be popular, or because it's the newest game that was recently added when viewing newest games added on Steam.

Who earns a generous cut of each sale for these games?

Steam get 30% on all sales that's it, doesn't apply they own the game, make the game, or anything else, the Devs/Pubs agree to pay the cut share for sales, what you're applying doesn't work the way you think.

Who would be responsible if "bad" content appears in the game description? (i.e. racism, porn, hate speech, etc...)

Both Steam, and the Devs/Pubs would be held responsible, Steam set ground rules that Devs/Pubs must follow. I remind you again, using another language is not offensive, nor is it a discrimination to anyone, neither does it being related to racism, to porn, hate speech, or etc... Do you understand?

Do you even English?

I honestly cant tell if you're trolling or just terrible in English.

Do you even know how to use grammar? Clearly you're failing at all attempts to make excuses just so you can attack Steam, because they have games that are not english on their platform...

Go walk into grocery store International section, and you see products with different languages, then go complain to the store manager for selling products that are not english only, and see how far you get...

What the game doing is not breaking any of the terms, or guidelines, you're upset that a international game is on Steam that's not supporting english. I suggest you go re-educate yourself, and learn to do some self reflection as clearly it seem you believe it's Steam job not to allow games that are not english onto Steam.

I gave you question, and it's quite clear you realize what I was saying to you, just to throw questions at me so you can come up with excuses for yourself. Now there's no need to continue this discussion, and you will not be getting your way as you please to discriminate, or attack others just because they use another language instead of english.

It's pointless trying to reason with the fool, he's hell bent on blaming Steam for something they have no control over

Im done arguing with you, you cant even understand basic English.

Only you are having trouble understanding what is being said to you. You can try make much excuses for yourself, but doesn't change what was said to you.

I agree. If he going act like a child about it, then nothing left needed to be said.

Rofl because you think it should merely be a suggestion? What are you smoking?

This is definitely the right forum to post in.

You are proposing a change. That's commonly called a Suggestion.

Or are you just ranting? In which case this is the forum you want.

This forum is for assistance with the current system, and currently games with Chinese names showing in the store is working as designed.

The "sick" joke here is only the ignorance which is shown. For all other ask Valve directly via mail, phone, letter or visit them... why they are unable to do working and functional filters since more as one decade.

While I find the point on Megaman silly as it does support English, the example linked in the second post is something that arguably should not happen.

If a game is not in English, does not support English and you've set your preferences to English, it is reasonable to expect games that support English to be shown while those that do not, are excluded. I'm not even sure why this is up for debate and some of the examples are ridiculous. An international section in a grocery store? Really? Strecth much....

[Arucard]

Steam also just proudly launched several new language support options, so is the answer that there is no effective way to filter out games that don't support my native language?

I tend to only see them in my discovery queue, but more often recently. What keyword could I put in to filter out games that would warn me that my language is not supported?

[cSg|mc-Hotsauce]

It tells you why it is being shown to you on the store page itself.
