Why cant I change what language server uses for translations. Everyone on my friend group understands english and wants the game to be in english but that is not an option for some reason.

I tried to set my windows language on all places I could find to english for server to not use community/or whatever translations, but that for some reason does not work. Tried installing it through steam and steamcmd as anonymous but either did not work.

Is there launch command for server like "language=en" is in options.ini? Please add one because this issue is driving me insane.

Can you reinstall your server after switching your PC display language?

I re installed server through steamcmd after changing the language, but that did not help. Is it supposed to change item names on old save or is it going to only work on new save?

Item changes will only work on new saves as far as I am aware
