Symptoms
Despite Steam being set to Spanish - Spain and the game being set to Spanish - Spain in its properties, the game is loading the Spanish - Latin America translation. This doesn't happen on Windows.
Reproduction
Load Dark Souls 3 in Spanish - Spain under Proton. You can tell it's the wrong language setting right at the "Press any button" screen. It should be "Pulsa cualquier botón", as that's the Spain translation and that's what is loaded on Windows. However you get "Presiona cualquier botón", which is the Latin American version of the text.
Steam recently split the Spanish language in two so maybe Proton doesn't know how to handle it?

Research direction
Reproduce Dark Souls 3 (AppID 374320) with Spanish - Spain selected under Proton 3.16-4 beta or 3.7-8, and compare the opening text with the Windows result. Start by tracing how Proton handles Steam's language selection; done means the Spain translation is loaded, including “Pulsa cualquier botón,” rather than the Latin American wording.
