Changing In-Game Language
To change Team Fortress 2 Classic's language, you have to do it via Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer. This is the application that runs when you use TF2C, it controls the language option.
Steps (see images below for help)
- Navigate to Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer on Steam. You may need to tick the Tools category in the filters which are located under the Home button on the library page.
- Click the Gear icon (titled Manage) on the Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer's page. This is located on the right hand side of the page and next to an Info icon and Heart icon.
- Click on the Properties button at the bottom of the drop down. This will open a new window.
- Click on the General tab.
- Click on Language.
- Navigate to your language and select it. (Make sure your language is supported in TF2C using the table above)
Now when booting Team Fortress 2 Classic, it will have changed to your selected language.

Step 1: The filters -
Step 2 & 3: The Gear icon and Properties in drop down -
Step 4 & 5: The pop up window on General tab -
Step 6: Selecting a language
An alternate way to achieve this is to change language through Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer's settings/options menu through the Audio tab but this is a longer method and requires an application restart.
