But having completed the previous self-imposed task of making A-code UTF8 compliant (still not fully documented – must get around to that), I was startled when somebody translated into Russian my A-code implementation of Roger Firth’s Nan-adventure The Cloak of Darkness. (If you know Russian, you can play it at https://mipmip.org/cloak/cloak_ru.html [must document its existence too!] The PHP front-end is still in English, but the game itself is not, though it understands English commands too.)

The program doesn’t seem to understand either my Russian or English right now.

As a matter of idle curiosity… Pardon my complete ignorance of the current state of the art, but do any existing IF engines offer that kind of functionality?

I don’t know if this would work for you, but you can see how it’s done in Metaparser. It’s a parser module for INSTEAD.

As for me, I plan to add one more feature to my preparser and be done with it.
