MODERATORS
Yeah, it's definitely more for a specific groups of people, such as those who play old untranslated emulated titles and such.
Hm, I see. Like old Japan exclusive titles. Haven't thought about that.
A bit weird to implement it as Decky plugin then, because basically everything on Steam is available in English.
You can play non-steam games on a deck
Its basically for emulators
I've also run into games on steam that specifically failed to identify my language on Linux. I can generally tell what options I need to pick to change a language back to English, but some langauges like Chinese and Korean are difficult to to navigate.
