Hi, I would like to change language setting to see subtitle in other language than English.
But it doesn't seems like that I can change locale setting.

Anybody can help me?

I don't know if there are other solutions, but for me it worked like this:

Just add the command line option to your "alanwake.exe" shortcut: "-locale=xx"

Instead of "xx" you can use:

Full localizations:
"en" = english
"de" = german
"fr" = french
"es"/ "esm" = spanish
"jp" = japanese
"it" = italian

or partial localizations:
"ko" = korean
"cht" = tchinese
"pl" = polish
"ru" = russian
"cz" = czech

Hey,

in the new Alan Wake's American Nightmare game folder is a Laguage_Setup.exe. Is the Installer of the normal Alan Wake game also updated with such a language changer?

Yes, it is.
If the installer of the normal Alan Wake was updated, shouldn't we receive an update notification through the downloader and/or account page ?
I don't know. Maybe this update was too small or something...
Anyway, I downloaded Alan Wake several days ago and "Language_Setup.exe" is there.

I posted my message in the topic of the downloader and apparently the notification system is in beta in their system but not yet in place for us.
Ok thanks. Then I'll redownload the game.
