Hey @Macarel,

can you try here to change your language in your Google Account as usually Stadia is picking up the language set there (unless specific games have ingame-options to change the language, which I am not sure if that's the case for ARK):

For the Google Account:

  • Open myaccount.google.com.
  • On the left side click on "data & personalisation".
  • Scroll down until you see "General preferences for the web".
  • Click on "language" there.
  • Check that your language is set correct there.
    • Even if it is correct, try to set it to English, then save, then go back there and set to your original language. Then save again.
    • If this doesn't help either, you may need to clear cache & cookies of your browser. See the instructions/link here.
  • Open stadia.google.com and launch your game again to see if it works.

For a mobile device:

Check the language settings for your device. It may be different from device to device, I am using a Pixel, so it works like this:

  • Open the settings app on your device.
  • Go to "system".
  • Select "Languages and input".
  • Check that the correct language is set.
    • Even if it is correct, try to set it to English, then save, then go back there and set to your original language. Then save again.
  • Open your Stadia app to see if it works.

When playing on Chromecast

You can change the language of your chromecast in the Google Home App, just do the following:

  1. Open your Google Home App.
  2. Select the room where your device (chromecast) is set up.
  3. Click on the settings in the top right corner.
  4. Change the language under "language" to the one you want your games in.
  5. Open Stadia on TV and enjoy!

Please let us know if this still doesn't fix your issue.

Bonjour je suis Français et j’ai vérifié les réglages depuis mon compte Google (préférences pour le web) et également sur Stadia mais ARK reste en Anglais. Avez-vous des nouvelles concernant la résolution de ce problème ?

Anything new? I like to play in German and don't play unless it is. Can i give the addons back and get my money back since it isn't in german?
