==English instead of dwarven language==
 
You can hack the language files with this regular expression command:
 
 
 
'''<nowiki>:%s/T_WORD:\([A-Z_ -]*\):[^\]]*\]/T_WORD:\1:\L\1]/</nowiki>'''
 
 
 
==See also==
 
[[40d:Language]] (has expanded explanations of parts of the language system, which seems to still be the same in this version)
