==English instead of dwarven language==
You can hack the language files to display english in-game with this regular expression command:

'''<nowiki>:%s/T_WORD:\([A-Z_ -]*\):[^\]]*\]/T_WORD:\1:\L\1]/</nowiki>'''

+'''Language tokens''' are used within the language_*.txt raw files. Each [[token]] is permitted in a specific context.
-Note: All language [[raw file]]s use [[Character table|Codepage 437]] encoding, and you should make sure you are editing these files in that format. As many text editors default to UTF-8, some characters with diacritical marks may fail to show properly. Saving one of the default language raw files in this state will overwrite these characters with the unicode question mark, which will corrupt the file. To fix this replace the file with a clean one downloaded from the distributed version of DF.
