Dwarf Fortress localization project

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

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

Install the localization:

dfint/installer

If the installer doesn't work for you for some reason (e.g. it doesn't run at all), you can use the package builder:

Package builder

Supported versions of DF are 50.10 and newer (including 51 versions), 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 1-3 days, or about a week in hard cases).

Help translating DF into your language

You can contribute to the localization here:

What is Dwarf Fortress?

(if you accidentally stumbled upon this project)

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).
