Are there any plans to translate DF to other languages?

Maybe some more people would play if the game was in two or three more common languages like chinese and spanish.

I believe language support is one of the eternal suggestions. I've asked about this as well :D

Yes, there were a couple of questions like that, and the only answer that it real is "probably not in the nearest future".

Yes, it's in the development plans.  Ctrl+F that page for these types of questions, so that you can get answers without having to post a thread.

# Core54, TRANSLATION SUPPORT, (Future): Announcements and other interface text needs to come out of the game and be placed in an editable format to support any potential translators, though current font implementations restrict this process at the moment if non-ASCII characters are to be involved.

Also, if you want to make a suggestion for improving the game, you should use the Suggestions forum.  And make sure to search for existing suggestions first.
