As far as I know the western european releases of Risen (standard and collectors edition) are multilingual. You can choose between German, English and French language.
Italian and Spanish only with subtitles.

Only the standard UK version is English only.

***

The Risen game manual of the german collectors edition is written in German of cause.

You can download the english manual legally on steam:
