    IF you REALLY bought the game, than go to steam, library and right click on beamng, than go to preferences or settings and go to the language tab.

    The game never had a russian language pack. It's only English.
    The game was never sold via Steam. Only from this website till now.
    The game is not even in your Steam Library, so..

    If you enjoy the game, I encourage you to purchase it. That way everybody will be happy, and you get the support you ask for and much more :)

    Read it again.

    You can't buy BeamNG from Steam. Please buy the game from beamng.com.

    So why do I have Russian? Bought it legally on steam.
    --- Post updated ---
    Could it be a mod to change language? Only names on side bar and titles of descriptions of cars, maps etc. are in Russian.

    OK, it happened to be a naughty mod, that was advertised to do something else. I'm pretty sure I downloaded it here, which is alarming.

    There is a mod that changes the language to Russian, and it's advertised as so.
    If you thin it's not, drop a link to it so we can check.

    I recall that translations are not yet available in the current public version (hence you cannot use them at the moment)

    Herp, my bad. Look below.

    How to use it ingame
    In the game version 0.7 you can use it manually already:

    1. Stop the game

    2. Download https://github.com/BeamNG/i18n/archive/master.zip

    3. Unpack all .json files (they are in the subfolder 'i18n-master' in the zip) into the game installation path / locales. If the path is correct, there should be a en-US file already.

    4. Start the game and select the new language from Options

    (If you translate things, it might take the software some time to commit the changes back to github)

    If you do not want to run the game, you can have a look at this: Translation Contexts


    That above is copied from the wiki.
    Here is where you are supposed to put them: steam/steamapps/common/beamng.drive/locales

    EDIT:
    They are not included in the official game but they can be downloaded from the wiki. The translations aren't 100% perfectly translated but they are still downloadable.
