WARFRAME officially supports 13 languages with localized user interface and dialogue subtitles. It can be changed from the game's launcher settings which also affects the server Chat will connect to. However, NPC dialogue will only be spoken in English regardless of the client's locale.

Official Localization[]
WARFRAME uses American English for most localization and dialogue. Very rarely does the game use British or Canadian English in the UI or subtitles.
Some noteworthy outliers include "Sentient" which uses the British pronunciation for a majority of the game dialogue:
- Lotus: "The Sentient (ˈsen-tē-ənt) Hunhow has grown strong again and his thoughts have invaded my own. Worse still, he has enlisted the Stalker to find the Reservoir, a weak point of all Tenno, a place I hid long ago. I fear the Stalker is on the cusp of finding this place, do not let this happen." (download, history)
- Loid: "Those were the Sentients (ˈsen(t)-sh(ē-)ənts), Otak. As I believe I have explained before." (download, history)
