DoomRL on different languages
Belk:
Whom I get to kill to get source code to translete it?
pacmanus:
Hopefully I will helpful for translation into Russian. However, sources are not yet available. We are waiting for version 1.0.0.
ZicherCZ:
I like the idea of translating the DoomRL Wiki to other languages, but I am unfamiliar with creating a whole new language version. I would be willing to go for Czech translation, but I would need a few pointers to get a new language running (not the articles per se, I edited some in the past).

In practice, one does not need the source code to translate the presented text into another language. All the display strings would be abstracted into a string table that is loaded from the various "language packs". This is the standard practice.
At present, Valkyrie (the library that DoomRL is based on) does not have this ability yet. Even if we reach 1.0.0, if the ability stringify isn't out, the translation work would be too tedious and error prone.
pacmanus:
Then, we hope this feature will be presented in future =) And, yes, wiki might be some sort of training ability.
And only time needed. Other things - is smaller things.
