    if game:getLink(VGameSpeechLanguage):getName() == "English"
    doesn't seem to work

    It's the standard language one. Speech language will return empty unless it is set. Speech language was added to 4.x so that you could define a different language for the speech instead of using the same language as the text / subtitles.

    shorthand example...
    if game.StandardLanguage:getName() == "English" then
 -- do something...
elseif game.StandardLanguage:getName() == "German" then
 -- do something else
end

    getobject example...
    if game:getLink(VGameStandardLanguage):getName() == "English" then
 -- do something...
elseif game:getLink(VGameStandardLanguage):getName() == "German" then
 -- do something else...
end
