Classic 0.53.10: Items, plants and trees not translated, Steam version works

[Saturo78]

Hi,

first of all, thank you very much for your work on DFInt!

I’m using both Dwarf Fortress Steam and Classic 0.53.10, with the DFInt installer on linux mint.
In the Steam version, items, plants, trees, etc. are correctly translated into German.

However, in Classic 0.53.10, those names remain in English, even after:
running the installer successfully
selecting the correct Classic installation directory
generating a completely new world after installation
The UI text seems translated, but object names are not.

According to the documentation, Classic 53.x should be supported, so I wanted to ask:
Is this a known limitation for Classic 0.53.x?
Or is there something specific I might be missing in the setup?

Thanks again for your time and for DFInt!

Best regards

Ensure that you generate the world with the translation enabled. If not, a lot more things than usual will be untranslated.

Hi,

i have downloaded and unpacked a fresh Classic 53.10.
i have deleted all previous saves
DFInt was run and a new world was generated.
Many object names, e.g., ash trunk and hazel tree trunk, are still in English and not translated to German.

In theory, classic 53.x should be supported, and it should be in parity with the steam version (at least comparing windows and windows or linux and linux versions of the game).

In practice, the translation is a hacky process and a lot can go wrong in different versions of the game and in different variants of the game.

I don't have a solution right now.

Thanks for your reply.
I have tested several versions back to 50.10 on Linux.
With every version, I noticed the same behavior: most of the plants and items on the map are not translated into German.

I had hoped I could use the Classic version to avoid having to use Lutris.
Don’t worry, I can live with the Steam version for now, although the Steam version crashes regularly on my PC.
