Hello.

The game barely has multi-lingual support apparently:
- Only minor UI elements are translated, most notably the in-game time;
- Changing $LANG to other languages does not fix the problem, the game remains largely untranslated;
- The French and Czech translations, available at the web site of the project hosted by Source Forge, are missing from the package.

As a result, the game is only available in English.
Many people expect to play the game in various languages that are described as supported, however they do not seem to be.

Have a good day.

Unfortunately my answer's "patches welcome".

I'm keeping lincity in a shape where it builds and will provide simple
bugfixes but this would very likely require more than that.

Hello there,

I created undead-games in order to try to help maintain upstream games.

There is a new upstream repo here : https://codeberg.org/undeadgames/lincity

I patched it with all 14 patches from debian package and did some other cleaning work.

I'll try to fix this annoying problem of language now.

Kind regrads,
Mindiell

Some more news.

I've been able to clean up a little translation management. I added french and czech existing translations.

Since I'm new to autoconf, I maybe did some mistakes but everything is nearly working now. I just have to make sure
"make install" is going the right way (not for now).

Mindiell,
