I live in Brazil and I installed Steam via pamac, the official repository, but when typing, I can’t put an accent on the words, is this an error from Steam or Manjaro?
the accent works normally if I open the “kate” application for example.
The problem is that Steam forces the local language to English on script level, even if you use a different language on the GUI. That is done for compatibility reasons.
You can overwrite it in Steam with:
LC_ALL=pt_BR.UTF-8 LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8 steam-runtime
Or if you run a Game and need the full range of UTF-8 symbols in the overlay or game, add this to the steam startup options of each game:
LC_ALL=pt_BR.UTF-8 LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8 %command%
Usually there are no problems overwriting the language, but some Games don’t like it.

I’m new to Linux and I took a look and from what I saw in that attached topic, it’s running on Steam via Lutris or Wine??? There is a printout of the Windows registry.
I always prefer to install a program via pamac and the official repository, nothing against flathub.
No, it is proton, which is wrapper for wine. So basically it is a wine prefix with additional scripts and patches to work better with games. Proton is used for Windows Games, which should run on Steam Linux.
