Japanese Ramen Simulator Language Settings & UI Guide
The Steam store lists ten UI languages; full voice-over is Japanese only (same store check as our other pages). We document the v0.1.50 Auto language fix from Wild Dog’s patch notes and community reports about Settings / Options without inventing click-by-click menus (unofficial fan wiki).

v0.1.50 Auto language fix (official)
OFFICIALWild Dog’s Update Notice v0.1.50.17746 (10 Oct 2026) says Auto now selects English when your PC language is not supported. Update on Steam before retesting Auto.
How to change language (HowTo)
Source tier badges mark each step. In-game menu labels depend on your current UI language.
- STEP 1OFFICIAL
Check which UI languages Steam lists for App 4968640
On the Japanese Ramen Simulator store page, supported languages currently include English, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain), Portuguese (Brazil), Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean — ten UI locales. The API string does not spell out subtitles vs interface-only per language; treat UI text as supported for all ten unless the store page adds finer labels later.
- STEP 2OFFICIAL
Install the latest build (v0.1.50+ for the Auto→English fix)
Wild Dog’s Update Notice v0.1.50.17746 (10 Oct 2026) states that when your PC language is not supported, the in-game Auto language setting now selects English. Use Steam → Library → Japanese Ramen Simulator → Updates to pull the newest patch before testing language behavior.
- STEP 3SITE MODEL
Optional: set a per-game language in Steam (Valve generic — unconfirmed for this title)
Many Steam games honor Library → right-click → Properties → Language. Valve documents this flow in Steam Support. Wild Dog has not stated whether Japanese Ramen Simulator reads that tab or only in-game Options — try it if UI stays wrong after an in-game change, but do not assume it overrides every build.
- STEP 4PLAYER REPORT
Change display language in Settings / Options (in-game — menu path unconfirmed)
Launch-day player reports say the first boot screen may stay in Japanese even when you want English or Chinese. Multiple threads point to a language control under Settings or Options, but Wild Dog has not published step-by-step menu names in English/Japanese for Early Access. Open the settings menu from the title screen or pause menu and look for a Language / Auto / English entry — exact labels depend on your current UI language.
- STEP 5PLAYER REPORT
Restart the game and recheck Auto vs a fixed language
If text stays in Japanese after a change, fully quit to desktop (not just return to title), relaunch, and pick a fixed language instead of Auto when testing. Community reports vary by Windows display language and patch version — we do not treat any single video as universal proof.
- STEP 6OFFICIAL
Understand voice-over vs UI text
This site’s store checks (same wording as our worth-it page) describe full voice-over as Japanese only while UI covers the ten languages above. Changing UI language does not add dubbed dialogue in other languages.

Frequently asked questions
Q1.How many languages does Japanese Ramen Simulator support?
Ten UI languages on the Steam store page: English, French, Italian, German, Spanish (Spain), Portuguese (Brazil), Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (App ID 4968640, checked via Steam appdetails).
Q2.Why does the game start in Japanese?
Wild Dog has not posted a single “default language” FAQ. Player reports on Steam discussions say the boot flow may show Japanese menus first even when other UI languages are installed. Use Settings / Options to switch — exact steps are not officially documented.
Q3.What changed for Auto language in v0.1.50.17746?
Official patch notes: when your PC’s language is not supported by the game, the Auto language setting now selects English (previously some players reported broken or unexpected behavior). See the Update Notice on Steam and our changelog entry.
Q4.Language change did not apply — what should I try?PLAYER REPORT
Community checklist: verify Steam downloaded v0.1.50+, fully quit the game, try a fixed language instead of Auto, optionally set Properties → Language in Steam (Valve generic), and reboot once if Windows display language is uncommon. If UI text clips, raise HUD scale — Day 1 patch v0.1.48.17626 added fixes for some language overflow cases (official).
Q5.Does changing language delete saves or Steam Cloud data?
Wild Dog has not warned that UI language changes wipe saves. Steam Cloud and Save Anytime remain store-listed features — see our save-location guide for sync behavior. Back up before major patches as a general Early Access precaution.
Q6.Is there full voice acting in English or Chinese?
No — our store review matches other pages on this wiki: full voice-over is Japanese only; the ten languages above cover UI text. Subtitle-style support beyond that is not spelled out in the API language string we cite.
Q7.Should I match Steam’s game language with Windows display language?SITE MODEL
Site model tip only: aligning Windows, Steam per-game language, and in-game Auto/fixed choice reduces surprises — especially after v0.1.50’s Auto→English rule for unsupported OS locales. Wild Dog has not published a recommended order; test what works on your PC.
