Additional Languages Instructions:
If you are looking to change the default game language, and you have not modified your 'Skyrim_Default.ini' file, it is as simple as right-clicking the Skyrim game in your Steam games list, selecting 'Properties…', and changing the 'Language' dropdown in the 'General' tab to the language of your choice. This will automatically download the language pack and .ini file which instructs the game to use it, and you are done.
NOTE: 'appmanifest_489830.acf' file must not be set to read-only (which is typically done during a "downgrade" process as well as shown in this video). You will have to first unlock this file before selecting a language. You will want to re-lock it by setting it to read-only again after download. This process will not perform a full verification of file integrity (so it will not break the downgraded Skyrim install), it will simply download the language pack and .ini file.
