What languages are supported on Android?
Warframe on Android supports localization in all 14 languages currently supported by Warframe. Your device's language determines the localization of Warframe you experience. As long as your device supports the language, you will be able to play Warframe in that language. If you wish to change the language, you must do so in your device's settings.
Languages supported: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Polish, Ukrainian, Korean, Japanese, Traditional & Simplified Chinese, and Thai.
