No Results Found Languages on the NIRA Desk

Steam lists three interface and subtitle languages for No Results Found: Korean, English, and Japanese. There is no full voice table. There is no Simplified Chinese store locale, no Russian locale, and no extra subtitle pack hiding in DLC. A Steam thread titled More languages or subtitles asked for more. That is a request. It is not a missing download. This wiki matches the three languages the store actually ships. Legal pages on this site stay in English for every locale.

Play the language you read fastest. The investigation loop is the same. The Church of the Nine-Tentacled Octopus was written in a Korean internet register, so joke posts and petty complaints often hit hardest in Korean. English and Japanese are official localizations of the same closed index, not separate mysteries. Mixing a translated gloss with an in-world proper name is how you get a genuine empty results page, which is also the title of the game.

A mid-August 2026 press release, quoted by Japanese coverage such as doope.jp on 19 August, said more languages were planned after the three that shipped. That is intent. It is not a Steam download. As of 21 August 2026 the live store table is still Korean, English, and Japanese. There is still no Simplified Chinese client, no Russian pack, and no DLC subtitle. When a fourth locale actually lands, this page will change. Until then, play one of the three and copy in-world scripts as tokens.

How to switch the client

Set the language on the Steam app properties for No Results Found, then launch. Do not expect an in-game flag button that rewrites every already-opened tab without a restart. After Patch 1.1 some leftover untranslated UI was named as a bug. Remaining wrong-language buttons on a current build are mail for [email protected], not a puzzle. Include which of the three store languages you launched in.

Japanese players should be on Patch 1.0.2 or later. Official notes say 1.0.2 fixed several mistranslations in the Japanese localization and widened accepted answers on the report. 1.1 bundles those changes. An older Japanese build can invent a ghost blank that is really a bad label. Update before you open Wiki Blanks.

English players still copy odd proper nouns exactly. Korean players still search both hangul and latin handles when the board shows both. The Marco versus Makor trap is a spelling lesson that survives every language: search the version the document prints, then the cousin spelling, then pin the one that returns a person. See IDs and Roles.

In-world text that is not the UI language

The store languages are the chrome. The case file can still show a photo caption, a scanned form, a chat fragment, or a wiki lemma in a script you did not pick in Steam properties. Steam has a thread titled Need help with Chinese text comprehension? from a poster who tagged themselves as a translator. Treat that as evidence, not as proof that Valve hid a fourth locale. Copy the characters into the in-game search bar. Do not paste a polished English paraphrase and hope the index is kind. The engine wants the token it authored.

If you cannot read the fragment, you still have verbs. Screenshot it. Put it in the memo. Search it as a whole string. Search a distinctive substring if the full line is too long. Follow blue links on the In-Game Wiki page that sit next to the fragment. The lemma beside an unread script is often the English, Korean, or Japanese name the report actually wants. Do not wait for a community patch that adds Simplified Chinese subtitles. This wiki will not add a Chinese locale either; the template rule for this non-Roblox title is to follow Steam, which means English, Japanese, and Korean only.

Korean internet slang inside an English playthrough is the same rule in reverse. Copy the hangul. Do not translate it into a cute English joke and search the joke. Japanese players meeting leftover Korean handles should copy the handle. English players meeting a Japanese wiki title after swapping language should copy the Japanese title.

What language does not change

Accuse and Connive stay those achievement names in Steam’s public English stats even if your UI is Korean or Japanese. DODGE thresholds stay 1,000 and 2,000. The cult’s English store name stays Church of the Nine-Tentacled Octopus. Korean store copy keeps the English title and names the cult 아홉개의 문어다리교. Japanese store copy names it 九腕タコ教. Use those strings in those languages on this wiki’s case files. See Church.

Search Rookie, Search Addict, Closer to the Truth, Model NIRA Employee, Government-Approved Medicine, and Write First, Think Later are Steam’s English achievement names. Local clients may show localized labels. When this wiki quotes a badge, it uses the English Steam stats string so we do not fork the tracker. The Achievement Tracker is that list.

IME, Deck, and small fields

A working IME matters. Korean and Japanese queries need it. English queries still need punctuation and exact capitals when the document uses them. Patch 1.0.1 improved input-field logic after launch-week complaints that the search box fought people. If the field still eats characters on 1.1, that is a bug, not a language pack. Handheld keyboards on an unverified Steam Deck make spelling traps worse. Sit at a real keyboard if you can.

How this page connects

How to Search is the verb list. When You Are Stuck is triage. Steam Threads maps the live forum titles, including the Chinese-comprehension thread and the extra-language request. Known Issues is where leftover untranslated UI goes. Official Links is the store language table’s home.

If you came here hoping for French or Spanish subtitles, they are not on the Steam language line. Play English, Korean, or Japanese. Search the string on the screen. That is still the whole product.
