    • it is needed to create a single tool, which can be deployed to Steam to apply translation to Dwarf Fortress without need to download parts of translation manually

• Translation of the text from external files:

  • Using mods?
  • Using a dfhack mod?
  • Using hook (adding text from external files to csv): https://github.com/dfint/autobuild/tree/main/translation_build/csv_with_objects

• Automation:

  • https://github.com/dfint/translations-backup - downloading translations from transifex
  • https://github.com/dfint/autobuild - generation of csv files for https://github.com/dfint/df-steam-hook
  • generation of mods for each language - work in progress, part of https://github.com/dfint/df-gettext-toolkit
  • https://github.com/dfint/df-font-generator - generation of graphic fonts for each language - partially implemented, not automated yet

• Steam integration

  • Installation of the localization from steam
    • as dfhack plugin?
    • as a separate utility (like dfhack)?

• DFHack integration

  • Text rendering using dfhack
    • Unicode (at least USC-16) support?
    • Changetext.py revival?
  • Running from dfhack instead of using of a separate launcher?

• Some kind of a documentation
