(The following items may be of interest those who are not native speakers of English. Please send a PM if you know of any other non-English resources that would be of interest. Note that the ordering of languages is the order in which I was first made aware of resources in those languages. More detailed discussion of these resources can be found in the thread at Non-English Inform 6 resources? so please post any questions that you have about them there.)
