Hey guys, I really tried to find out by googling, but I keep finding only very old information. Can I switch the UI to German somehow and is there a download/torrent for German cards?

Any help is appreciated.

The GUI might be changed to German, the card translation might be faulty

Not sure what you mean with faulty card translations. The card translations are official, here's a German card from scryfall: https://scryfall.com/card/spm/280/de/peter-parkers-kamera-(peter-parkers-camera). I can't imagine no one has downloaded the cards in German yet (in the directory structure for Forge).

Wizards doesn't update faulty card translations

Also we update this list sporadically

But when we generate Stack Description, that might not be translated anymore

Thanks, I'll have a look at the resources you posted and see if I have any more questions.

I wanted to translate more like the Colors in the "ChooseColor" dialog, but that needs more rewire

#

As I understand it, that file is used when I want to "inspect" (I don't know the technical term) the text on the cards.

I was thinking of something simpler. I would just replace the image of the English card with the image of the German card and keep the rest the same. That way German users can read the German text on the card, with the caveat that the stack description etc. is still in English.

#

Is there a way to run the GUI in German? You seem to have the translations: forge/forge-gui/res/languages
/de-DE.properties

Open gui in desktop mode and go into settings

Ok got it, for the adventure mode I have to change the language in the main forge application.

Were you able to change the adventure's language to something other than English?

shell kayak Feb 10, 2026, 5:59 AM

#

Yes. You have to start the non-adventure application and gonto settings. There you can change it.

#

And the change carries over to adventure mode.

#

It doesn't download the card images in German though, but I wrote a script for that.

#

But I mean, the story and the quest still in English, is it? I want to put them them on Spanish but I cant
