nost of the valve games all got this issue. counter-strike series, dota2, team fortress2, left 4 dead 2...and so on. left 4 dead 2, its non-english language support is the best among those. but still not supporting IME(input method editor/enhancer) for chinese, japanese and korean (CJK languages can't be input directly, they use IME to input). e.g. ibus family software on ubuntu.
Nothing extracted yet.
[steam client]changing interface language may result in HUGE game language pack data download
Could YOU Optimize This?
see the related issue from dota2 linux ver. issue list.
"[ubuntu 12.10(64bit)]dota2 linux ver. with steam linux client in English cannot use simplified Chinese language pack."
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Dota-2/issues/1084
when changing steam interface language from english to simplified chinese, steam client for linux, would automatically download more than 1GB data for language pack switching.
could you optimize this? i need to frequently switch between english and non-english steam client for linux. due to some game glitches, some valve games for linux only support steam client english interface to display correctly, e.g. team fortress 2. non-english steam interface may result in in-game blank display.
and could you make the language pack downloading control permissions transferred to the steam client user themselves?
i don't want gigabytes of data downloading just for switching steam client interface language switching.
hope this would be optimized soon.
