Hi, I had spoken to Nick because I thought he was a maintainer of the Vanilla version but he referred me to you.
This is about Angband 4.2.6 in Spanish: I wanted to let you know that I'm about 85% of the way through translating the game into Spanish. For now, it's just a standalone version of 4.2.6. I wanted to know if you and the Vanilla version team have any plans to make the game multi-language, since we need to make quite a few changes to some files to support Spanish and define the strategy.
For example, handling multiple files: class.txt --> class-en.txt, class-es.txt. The same goes for other files. Another strategy is to put lines with the language in the same file, although I don't recommend this:
class.txt (single)
name-en: Warrior
name-es: Guerrero
For .c files, it's simpler; you always need to have a variable in memory that validates the language set at the beginning of the game.
Similarly, for the Windows GUI (the version I'm using), I see that all the options are in English, such as "File," "Open," "New," "Low Priority," "Bizarre Display," etc. There's no option to translate that interface. Do you have any plans to add one in the future? I'd like to support you in this translation.
Anyway, to avoid boring you any further, let me know if you need help with this part?
