I'm thinking it might be useful to also put a variant of the HTML version of this card on IFWiki, wikilinking the words to the appropriate pages. Also, I would like to suggest to any non-English readers to consider translating the card to other languages such as French, Italian, Spanish, German, and so on. -- David Welbourn 15:10, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

We (Benjamin Roux, Eric Forgeot, and me) did it for French! Here's the result; do you need also a text file for the IFWiki? --Eriorg 13:08, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
This is absolutely wonderful. I love it! Reminder: Make sure that your version it is distributed with the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license, which means (as I understand it) that the new versions get the same or a similar license as the original, you continue to credit Zarf and Lea as the original creators of the work (although, of course, you should add your own names to the attributions of this new work), and permit others to likewise modify the work under the same terms.
I don't think IFWiki itself needs a text version of the French card -- the PNG version ought to be sufficient for us, at least for now -- but we should, of course, link to wherever the French version(s) are available, and likewise for any other future versions as they appear.
I suggest adding the French card to IFWiki. I assume you'll want to put a copy of the French card somewhere prominent (eg: IFiction-FR) where French players can find it. I would also suggest giving a copy of the French card to pr-if.org so they may (if they choose) also host the French card. And I encourage telling the French IF community about the card wherever you choose to host it. Again, this is good stuff! Awesome, even. Thanks! -- David Welbourn 18:58, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
UPDATE: Emily just posted about the French card, and now we know there's a Play-if-card in Russian too. I don't know who to credit for that one yet, though. -- David Welbourn 19:32, 8 November 2010 (UTC)
Hello, you did well to remind me about the license. The original URL was cited on my modification, but it's better if I enter the specific license and names in the source file, which is located there: http://ifiction.free.fr/fichiers/play-if-card_fr.svg (it shouldn't look good in firefox, but it's opening well with inkscape) -- User:Otto


I'm glad you liked it, David! I uploaded the PNG file at File:Play-if-card_fr.png, with credits, licence and links to other versions. I also e-mailed Zarf and Lea, so that they can put it on the PR-IF site. --Eriorg 14:05, 9 November 2010 (UTC)


And there's now also a Spanish translation, by Depresiv! I've sent it to Andrew Plotkin. --Eriorg 05:33, 10 November 2010 (UTC)


I finished a preliminary German version (based on the excellent French SVG file), but it's not official yet. I put up a thread on the main German IF forum to ask for comments & criticism. StJohnLimbo 16:29, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
