How To Change Language In Civilization 6 From Russian To English May 2026

Use the dropdown menu to switch from Русский to English .

On the left side of the Properties window, click the tab labeled General .

Right-click on Civilization VI in the left sidebar. A context menu will appear. Use the dropdown menu to switch from Русский

Open AppOptions.txt using Notepad (or any text editor). Do not use Word.

Launch the game. The main menu, tooltips, and all in-game text should now be in English. Pro Tip: If the game still launches in Russian after this, verify your game files. Go back to Properties > Installed Files > Click “Verify integrity of game files.” This forces Steam to reapply the English localization. Method 2: Changing Language via the Epic Games Launcher The process for Epic Games is slightly different because the launcher handles language settings globally. A context menu will appear

Select Properties (the bottom option in the menu). A new window will pop up.

Open your Steam Library and locate Civilization VI . Launch the game

Look for the section titled Language . (On older Steam layouts, you may need to click a dropdown menu; on newer versions, it is immediately visible).
