Steam reports the language every review is written in. It is a biased proxy for player nationality — a Spanish player may write in English — but it is the only public one, and it updates weekly.

The performance column is computed from our own mirror (1120 reviews held locally), so it only appears for languages where we hold a usable sample. Small languages show — rather than a number derived from two or three reviews.

What this changed about our translations

Confirmed by the data

  • English first. 73% of reviews. It is the base locale and the only one with full content.
  • Simplified Chinese second. The largest non-English audience by a wide margin, and the most disappointed — 47% positive. Underserved and unhappy is exactly the combination worth a translation.
  • Performance complaints are universal. The rate sits in a narrow band across every language with a usable sample, which means the problem is the build, not one regional install.

Not supported by the data

  • Spanish. 14 Spanish-Spain reviews and 4 more across Latin America. Real, but a rounding error next to English. Interface only, and we say so on the page.
  • Japanese, Korean, Turkish. Under 15 reviews each. Translating the chrome would serve a handful of players and dilute the quality of the pages that matter.
  • Machine translation. The quotes stay in the player's own language. A translated quote is a fabricated quote, and this whole site is built on not doing that.
