well, I don't know what situation you are in. But to see what games you have click on your account and then click subscriptions and you can see what games yo have whether it's Dutch, RoW or Russian.

I think once you trade a game from a different region for example, Dutch. I think the game converts to the region your in. But I'm not sure. I read it somewhere. But don't count on it as I've never seen it for myself.

Afaik it doesn't convert. It's popular in Germany to trade/get gifted those games which are cut in Germany with/from someone from another region to get the uncut version.

No its not, deutsch = german, dutch ≠ german
So maybe the game is not in english and most likely not uncut ;)

Dutch is the language of the Netherlands (the common abbreviation for something from the Netherlands is NL).
Deutsch is the German word for German.
Germany has restrictions on what can be shown in games so German (DE) versions of games are often toned down and have "violent" scenes removed. The extent of the censorship depends on the game.

I don't think so. I think the DUTCH/DUETSCH version (I really don't know if it's the same. Looks and sounds the same.) Anyway, it has certain censores on it. That's all i know.

Dutch : from the Netherlands
Deutsch : German
DE means German, because there are non-violent/censored versions of some games in Germany.

You can't remove censorship, some monthes ago i added a deutsch version on my library and asked support if it was possible to change the version to a non-censored version (Cause i'm not from germany). They said that it's not possible. Then i asked them to remove the game of my library and they gave the money back, so i bought the non-de version.

Like people already said DE means it's the german version of the game which comes censored. most german games also DON'T have the option to change language to english or any other so you might want to be careful.

I'm from DEutschland/Germany. Do never buy german versions. They're heavily cut and you cant change them without asking the support.

Example: Team Fortress 2 Do you see the natural grey coloured blood?

You can change it by asking support? You're lucky then everytime someone I know asked they got a straight no from them, unless you bought an imported retail version of the game.

I don't know, I'm german so nobody will change a german version to another for me. But I've conversely heared that if e.g. I buy CoD MW2/Black Ops as a retail from foreign countries, I have to contact the support (And I think it was the Activision support), because Steam won't install it.

What I said:

Do never buy german versions!

VCP = Valve Complete Pack.

Available languages are the same in the DE version for all games

But some games are versions with toned down violence: Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Deathmatch, Half-Life 2: Episode One, Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Left 4 Dead, Left 4 Dead 2, Portal, Team Fortress 2.

The games not mentioned above are uncut.
