Dwarf Fortress localization project

We develop localization tools and help enthusiasts localize Dwarf Fortress into different languages.

Install the localization:

If the installer doesn't work for you for some reason (e.g. you are using Windows 7 or 8), you can use the package builder:

You can contribute to the localization here:

Project status - posts about the current state of development and plans
Discussions (e.g. announcements, questions and answers about this project and so on)
df-steam-hook-rs localization hook and its installer - actively developed parts of the project. Supported versiond of DF are 50.10 and newer, provided there is a config for the corresponding version. Both Windows and Linux platforms are supported.
We try to update configs as soon as possible after a game update (typically 2-3 days, or about a week in hard cases).
df-steam-hook - older localization patch/hook, supports DF versions up to 50.11.
Language communities - translation coordination and help to apply translation in your language
Project's Wiki / documentation - to be written

In short, it is an indirect control strategy, very similar to Rimworld, but in a fantasy setting (in fact, Rimworld was inspired by Dwarf Fortress).

Only languages with more than 1% translation progress are shown
