In theory, I think that's possible.....but it would take a LOT of work.

And building in easy localization capabilities into a programm afterwards nearly always ends in a mess!

Though you could always start with simply translating all the xml's and translate them! Though as Shrike stated it'll be a lot(!) of work! And for the next version you'd be lost or you'd need to apply all the code changes or start over again!

And I guess there are also several things hardcoded that you cannot access to localize!

Also, all the mods are in English. Creating localized versions would break up the user base.

Basically....short of translating every single line of text in the game, no.

But if you wanted to, it WOULD be possible. It just wouldn't carry on between versions.
