Well a lot of stuff in the raws could be translated, but there is A LOT of text that is hardcoded. That would make it impossible to translate the whole game. I'm pretty sure anyways.

I believe there is a dev item for this.

Yes, there is an old devpage item on pulling the language-related game scripts out so that the game can be translated relatively easily, but this is something of a low priority for Toady right now, unfortunately.

We get people wanting to translate things into Russian or some other language coming on somewhat frequently.

I was tempted to say something about how much I hate when my compatriots "laugh" like that, but I don't want to stain the reputation of the Bay12 Forums.

A note: most of Dwarf Fortress, except menus, is translatable. For EF, I modified many of the stuffs (as long as they aren't too long) in the executable, producing . (yes, that's the zone menu)

This is a local game, for local people.  There is nothing for you here!
