    Please !!!
    Make a translation into Russian language! And then the Russians can not be played.
    You're good, you can, just do not want to! Even my friend did transfer to 65.5. Well, at 90.2 you can also do !!!

    P.S My friend 90.2 can not do the translation, he tried!

    There are a few problems with this, one is that the font doesn't support Russian characters. Even if we redid the font to support them, then someone would have to go into the font editor and make them.

    Also after that it would take a lot of work to add in translation support (although the ways to do it are easier than I first thought ...).

    And most importantly I don't know Russian :P

    Well for the font part I know mniip made this once: https://github.com/mniip/The-Powder-Toy/commits/unicode

    But it's a bit unfinished and buggy. Even if it was finished i'm not sure I want to add translation support :|

    It's just a lot of work to do that. But I have been considering doing it a bit more lately.

    A long time ago there was a file that had all the text in TPT, that people would translate in case we ever did add translation support. I guess it would help to just translate strings, starting with the element names and descriptions in src/simulation/elements. There is no list of all the text anymore though.

    Well this is a list of all element names and descriptions in no particular order: http://pastebin.com/WRcakcX6

    I'm not sure if the names should be translated but maybe ...

    Also remember it probably won't be used any time soon if ever :P. Maybe you could try translating the wiki? That has a lot of useful info on all the elements and categories.

    Thank you, but if I do transfer, you add it to the game?

    There is no way to add any translated text yet, because the font doesn't support russian characters. Although if there was a language that only used letters we already had I guess someone could make a lua script to at least replace the element descriptions (the most important thing)
