## Language
There is **one language setting**: the **Language** list at the top of the window. It starts at the language the
game is set to (Steam > game properties > Language) and applies to everything you edit:
- **Sounds**: the voice lines of that language, plus the sounds every language shares (music, ambience,
effects). The game has voices in English (INT), French, Italian, German and Spanish; for the other languages
(Latin American Spanish, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, Korean) it plays the English voices, so the
editor shows those and says *voices: INT* next to the list.
- **Subtitles** and **Menu text**: the texts of that language.
Changing it reloads the lists; the next start is again in the game's language.
## Find a sound
- Type in the **search box** (Ctrl+F): words can be parts of the name, a category, a character, your own
notes or tags, or an ID like `b49cdf48`. All words must match.

the sound; a replacement is written into every copy.
