Which languages does Wild West Pioneers support?

Seven: English, French, German, Spanish (Spain), Polish, Simplified Chinese and Russian. Only English has full voice acting. In the other six you read the game in your language and hear it in English.

Which languages have voices?

Every language gets the interface and subtitles; only English is ticked for full audio. Watch out for short language lists copied from Steam’s data, where the footnote “languages with full audio support” lands right after Russian: the asterisk it explains belongs to English, and Russian is not voiced. The English voices are human performances; how they replaced the earlier placeholder voices is covered on the AI art question.

Can you turn the English voices off?

If you would rather just read in your own language, that looks possible. Back in the demo, Toplitz said it was thinking about making the voice-overs optional, “so you could turn them off in the settings if you prefer.” A player in the same thread then reported that the demo’s sound settings already let you switch voices off. That report is from the demo, so look for a voice volume slider in the audio settings rather than taking it as a promise.

When was Russian added?

Early, after players asked. Toplitz first replied that Russian was not planned, then came back to the same thread: “I just got the update, that we have added Russian to the supported Languages.” Russian is text only, like the other non-English languages.

Will there be Brazilian Portuguese?

Not promised, but no longer ruled out. Toplitz’s first answer to a request for a Brazilian Portuguese interface was:

“Hello, Brazilian Portuguese is not planned and unless there are massive editions to the wishlist from BR, then it most likely won't happen.”

After launch the publisher returned to the question: “We have received a few request for more language options already. Among them is Portuguese as well.” It would not promise anything, but added: “We are looking into what more might be possible”.

What about Thai, Hungarian, Turkish or Czech?

None of them is in the list. Players have asked for Turkish, Italian and Korean, among others, with no change to the seven so far. If you are searching for a Thai mod or a Hungarian fan translation (a “magyarítás”), those would be unofficial projects that replace game files, and the game has no mod support. When a fan translation patch turned up, the publisher answered with a caution: “Please always be cautious when downloading files from external sources and third parties.” and “We cannot guarantee the safety nor the quality of such offers.” In the same reply it said more languages may come, done properly: “we are looking into potentially adding more languages to the game as well as Early Access progresses. As our existing language options, they will be translated by human native speakers.” Anything you install from a fan project comes from its own authors, not from the game’s makers. The cheats and saves page covers what third-party tools touch.

Is the French translation complete?

It ships, with known rough edges. During the open playtest a French player could not find the grocery (l’épicerie); a studio account replied “C'est un bug connu de nos équipes.” and explained that the grocery and the canteen (la cantine) are the same building. The same account also acknowledged misaligned text on the efficiency screen. If a building name in your language seems missing, the English name on the food chains page may help you match it.
