If you want change language to another, you need set +english from 1 to 0
And also change +cl_language english and +cc_lang english

CL_LANGUAGE is UI (menus, weapon names on hud, another game text, etc…)
CC_LANG is subtitles, and yes, you can also change subtitles language via game options, if you want.
