Setting language on Steam web API

Question

I'm trying to get the list of my achived achivments, but I cannot get the description of the achivment. It also seems that I does not accept the language paremeter.

Based on the official documentation I tried to use this url:

http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamUserStats/GetUserStatsForGame/v0002/?l=de&appid=400&key=<insert-api-key>&steamid=76561197993036744

I also tried the pameters lang and language with the values de_DE, en and en_US. Nothing worked for me.

Answer 1

I used the wrong API. You need to call:

http://api.steampowered.com/ISteamUserStats/GetPlayerAchievements/v0001/?l=german&appid=400&key=<insert-api-key>&steamid=76561197993036744

Answer 2

add l=german to the request url

Example:

https://store.steampowered.com/api/appdetails?appids=570&l=english
