On sites like Nexus Mods, a mod or a custom language pack might be described as "verified" by the uploader or the community to indicate that it has been tested and is stable.
Change the value to your preferred language (e.g., Language=french , Language=german , Language=spanish , or Language=japanese ). and close the file. Step 2: Configure the Game INI (Audio Language)
