Summary
Ascent of Ashes ships eight languages but never shows the menu to switch between them. Russian Localization restores that selector to the main menu, bundles a complete Russian translation of the base game, and translates the AshForge mods' own menus and panels — all in one mod. Set the game to Русский and everything follows.
Details
• A complete Russian translation of the base game, bundled with the mod — no separate download, and nothing to copy into your game folder.
• Restores the game's own language dropdown to the main menu — the game ships it but never displays it — so you can switch language from inside the game.
• Translates the AshForge mods' menus and panels — World Map, Squad Select, Chains of Ash, Optics and Tools — whenever the game is set to Russian.
• Russian colonist names, contributed by GriswoldGrey.
• English is left completely untouched; the translation only activates when you choose Русский.
• Still being refined — if a line reads wrong, tell us on the feedback tracker.
Changelog ▾
v0.12.1October 8, 2026
- ChangedHarmony, the patching library this mod uses, now ships in its own folder. Another mod that brings a different copy of Harmony can no longer make the game reset your mod list because of this mod. The interface self-test line in the mod log now appears only when the game is set to Russian.
v0.12.0October 7, 2026
- ChangedWorks with the game's built-in mod manager: extract the archive into the game's Mods folder and enable it in the in-game Mods menu. Replaces the separate native edition (AshRuLocalizerNative), which should be removed. Installs through the AshForge Hub continue to work; if more than one copy is present, only one runs.
v0.11.0September 26, 2026
- ChangedUpdated for the current Ascent of Ashes (Steam build 25465256), the version everyone is on now that the game's beta has gone public. The previous release does not load on it.
- AddedRussian colonist names, contributed by GriswoldGrey. New colonists draw their first names, surnames and nicknames from a Russian list when the game is set to Русский.
- FixedThe new version of the game renamed its item categories, which left the stockpile and trade filters in English. They are translated again.
v0.9.1July 24, 2026
- NewThe expeditions screen is now translated — the destination list, the info headings, the travel time / food / mass / volume readouts, and the messages about an expedition already under way. This screen is written in English directly into the game rather than looked up from a language file, so no language pack could reach it; it's now covered the same way other untranslated panels are.
- FixedThe language selector in the top-right of the main menu could disappear. Rebuilding the menu — which happens on several ordinary paths — could leave it with no selector at all until you restarted. It now survives a rebuild.
v0.9.0July 19, 2026
- NewFirst release: full base-game Russian translation, translations for the AshForge mods' UI, and a restored in-game language selector.
