Dink HD supports no translation features. I could add support for .po translation files easily I think (example file: http://translationproject.org/PO-files/ca/dink-1.08.20190120.ca.po ) but unfortunately due to the restrictive licensing I cannot include it with the game itself. I'm not sure of the legality of offering in-game on the fly downloading of them...

It would be great if translators could be tracked down and coaxed into also releasing translations under a more open zlib style license.

There is also the possibility of adding internal auto-translation (see my work with Universal Game Translator) but uhh... despite many improvements, auto-translations still aren't great, but it might help Chinese/Japanese players, etc. in cases where no translations exist.
