Even for a 'fully translated' language you will still see English text
in many places when you start Evennia. This is because we expect you (the
developer) to know English (you are reading this manual after all). So we
translate *hard-coded strings that the end player may see* - things you
can't easily change from your mygame/ folder. Outputs from Commands and
Typeclasses are generally *not* translated, nor are console/log outputs.

Finally, try to get a feel for who a string is for. If a special technical term
is used it may be more confusing than helpful to translate it, even if it's
outside of a `{...}` tag. Even though the result is a mix of your language and
English, clarity is more important. Many languages may also use the English term
normally and reaching for a translation may make the result sound awkward
instead.

_Contribution - helpme 2022_

You can easily alter it to add special characters, room colors etc. The map shown is
dynamically generated on use, and supports all compass directions and up/down. Other
directions are ignored.
