I don't know much about interactive fiction. Because my English is not
very good and I couldn't find any source in my own language. I want to
ask something about Inform 7.
I want to write an IF story using Inform 7 to test it. Before I learn
how to use it, I should learn if it's possible change
"everything" (especially commands) in my own language.

Thanks for help
Sorry about my bad English if it's not clear.

I believe Inform has extensions to run in French, German, Italian, and
Spanish. See the extensions page:

As Jay pointed out, there are already a few translations to other
languages, you can look at them to see a direction for your translation.
It may be a rather long and tedious task to translate it, but it's
probably possible (I guess your language is Turkish, isn't it?).

Inform is designed with translation in mind. And we are here to help you! ;)

Thank you very much Jay and Otto. Yes, my language is Turkish. I am
going to examine these translations. And I will be asking for help I
think :)
After I learn how to do, I will teach many of my friends in Turkey. Is
there any forum or smt. like that about IF?

You can visit this forum if you wish: http://www.intfiction.org/forum/

And if your friends want to play some (mostly English) games directly
from their browser, they can visit: http://parchment.toolness.com/

Wasn't there a forum or mailing list at one point that was for
discussion of Inform translations?

Google banned the group?

I'm using the german extension to Inform 7, and it works absolutely
fine. Yet, there is to say that the extensions do not translate
"everything": The source code is still english, respectively a mixture
of your language and english if you use a language extension.

yes, but I still don't know the reason of this. And all archives were
deleted, it wasn't very nice.
