It's not likely. As the developers have stated, there's a LOT of text in this game, much of it procedurally-generated, and it would be a huge project to retool all of that for other languages.

The issue isn't just translating the game. It's the fact the procedural generated text has programmed grammar rules to follow. Translating it into another language would require completely rewriting how the game handles grammar.

Why not translate AFTER text generation to bypass all the text generation logic related to the original language ?

Because it's generated during the run I'd guess.

The devs themselves have recently said that they are doing it.
