Ostranauts localization
How to play in Russian, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, and 200+ more languages.
English first.
Official translations have been slow; the community filled the gap.
Ostranauts ships in English, and the official language list has grown slowly. Players asked for Russian since early access, and the community built working options for several languages long before official support arrived.
Live translation for 208 languages.
The least invasive option for Russian, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, and more.
The Babelith mod translates dialogue, menus and event logs live while you play. It covers 208 languages and updates with the game. Install by extracting the zip into the game folder next to Ostranauts.exe, then back up saves before experimenting.
A long-running community project.
PositiveBuff's patch follows game versions closely.
A personal Chinese patch by PositiveBuff is maintained on Baidu Tieba. It covers interface text that official Chinese had not reached at the time of each update. It is a fan project: back up your saves and expect version lag after big patches. We link to the author's thread; we do not host the files.
Community tools cover the demand.
Live translation is the practical route today.
Russian players have wanted official localization since early access, and Korean and Spanish players search for patches too. Community tools like Babelith cover these languages without a separate standalone patch, which keeps updates simple.

Will patches break my saves?
