DFHack compatibility

Starting from 0.2.0 version, the installer can be used along with with DFHack (50.13-r2 and newer).

However, there could be hidden incompatibilities because DFHack itself and external mods rely on untranslated text, but with enabled translation, they are supplied with changed text, which is unexpected to them.

Adding languages for Dwarf Fortress

If your language is missing in the dictionary drop-down list of the installer, please create an issue.

It is desirable that there is at least a translation of the title menu and some other initial screens. You can participate in the translation of the game here:

Localization of the installer

You can help with translation of the installer to your language: translation of the installer on transifex.com

There are only about 40 strings to translate. Once the translation to a language is finished, it can be added to the installer and will be available in its future releases.
