Languages

Learn how to change Warframe's language settings, explore the 13 supported languages, and understand the difference between UI and NPC dialogue languages.

Hey there, Tenno! So you're diving into Warframe and wondering about the languages? It's pretty straightforward, but there are a couple of things to keep in mind. WARFRAME officially supports 13 languages for the user interface and dialogue subtitles. You can change this in the game's launcher settings. Just a heads-up, this setting also determines which server chat you'll connect to. Keep in mind though, no matter what language you pick, the NPC dialogue will always be spoken in English. Here's a look at the languages you can choose from: | Name ( _transliteration_) | Language | Locale Code | Official language | Added in | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Deutsch | German | de | Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Belgium | Vanilla (2012-10-25)[1] | | English (Canada) | Canadian English | en | Canada | Vanilla (2012-10-25) | | English (United Kingdom) | British English | en | Great Britain, India, Singapore, Ireland, ... | Vanilla (2012-10-25) | | English (US) | American English | en | USA | Vanilla (2012-10-25) | | Español (España) | Spanish | es | Spain, Equatorial Guinea | Vanilla (2012-10-25) | | Français (France) | French | fr | France, Belgium, Monaco, Switzerland, .... | Vanilla (2012-10-25) | | Italiano (Italia) | Italian | it | Italy, Switzerland, San Marino, Vatican City State. | Update 5.2 (2013-01-04)[2][3] | | 日本語 ( _Nihongo_) | Japanese | ja | Japan | Vanilla (2012-10-25) | | 한국어 ( _Hangugeo_) | Korean | ko | South Korea, North Korea, Yanbian (China) | Update 5.2 (2013-01-04)[2][3] | | Polski (Polska) | Polish | pl | Poland | Update 5.2 (2013-01-04)[2][3] | | Português (Brasil) | Brazilian Portuguese | pt | Brazil | Vanilla (2012-10-25) | | Русский ( _Russkiy_) | Russian | ru | Russia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, .... | Vanilla (2012-10-25) | | ไทย ( _thay_) | Thai | th | Thailand | Unavailable[4] | | Türkçe (Türkiye) | Turkish | tr | Turkey | Update 9.8 (2013-09-03)[5][6][7] | | Українська ( _Ukrayins'ka_) | Ukrainian | uk | Ukraine, Transnistria. | Update 5.2 (2013-01-04)[2] | | 简体中文 (中国) ( _Jiǎntǐ Zhōngwén (Zhōngguó)_) | Chinese Simplified (China; Mandarin) | zh | Chinese mainland, Singapore, Malaysia | Vanilla (2012-10-25) | | 繁體中文 (台灣) ( _Fántǐ Zhōngwén (Táiwān)_) | Chinese Traditional (Taiwan; Mandarin) | tc | Taiwan (Republic of China) | Update 10.3 (2013-10-09)[8] | While the game mainly uses American English for localization, you might notice some subtle differences. For example, the term "Sentient" is pronounced with a British accent in some dialogue, like when Lotus mentions Hunhow or Loid talks about them. It's a small detail, but it adds to the game's flavor! Just remember to check your launcher settings to switch languages. Happy gaming!
