Translate Executable

How to apply translation from transifex to the Dwarf Fortress.exe

Download and install Python 3 from the official website: https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
Python 3.6 version (or newer) is preferred, so download and execute Windows x86 MSI installer or Windows x86-64 MSI installer depending on which Windows version you have. If you are not sure about your Windows version, just download and execute Windows x86 MSI installer.

Go to the translation project page: https://www.transifex.com/dwarf-fortress-translation/dwarf-fortress/
Choose your language. Click on it.
Click on DF.exe hardcoded strings resource
Click on the Download file to translate link in the window, which will be shown after the previous action.
Translation file with .po extension will be downloaded.

Download the whole df-gettext-toolkit (zip) repository and unpack it into separate directory.
Place there the .po file, which you've downloaded in the previous section.
Run the following command from a command line from the directory, where you unpacked the df-gettext-toolkit zip archive:

python -m df_gettext_toolkit.po2csv po-filename.po dictionary.csv

Notes:

po-filename.po must be replaced with the actual file name of the downloaded .po file
You can create .bat file with this command to run it with a double click.

Like in the previous section, download the whole dfrus (zip) repository and unpack it into a separate directory.
Place dictionary.csv file you've got in the previous section into that directory
Run the following command from a command line:

python -m dfrus.dfrus -p "d:\Games\df_42_06_win_s\Dwarf Fortress.exe" -d dictionary.csv --codepage cp850

Notes:

"d:\...\Dwarf Fortress.exe" must be replaced with the actual path to the Dwarf Fortress executable. The new (translated) executable will be created in the same directory with the name Dwarf Fortress Patched.exe.
cp850 must be replaced with the dos-codepage which supports your language (you can consult with this page). Currently supported codepages are: cp737 (Greek), cp850 (Multilingual - Latin 1), cp860 (Portugal), cp866 (DOS Cyrillic), cp1251 (Windows Cyrillic). If codepage of your language is not supported you can send me a message with your request (see contacts at the bottom of this page).

Edit init.txt in the data\init directory of the game, and make [TRUETYPE:YES] and [PRINT_MODE:2D] there.
Finally, run the Dwarf Fortress Patched.exe
