Yes, you should be able to only use custom questions (custom.txt).  It's plain text, so it should be easily translatable - so I'm not sure what you mean by "make at least the strings translatable"?

I've also used Claude AI to port Tournament Trivia to Synchronet JavaScript, in xtrn/ttrivia.  It works basically the same as the version mentioned above.

I had made a trivia game for Synchronet in JS a couple years ago too: Good Time Trivia, in xtrn/gttrivia - it doesn't have the multi-node multi-player capabilities, but you can configure multiple trivia categories, each with a different set of questions, for users to choose within the game.  And they're all text-based, so they should be easily translatable.  And with this one, you can also configure the point value of each question.  It can also post scores to a hosted JSON on a BBS, so you could have your game list scores across different BBSes.  I host scores on my BBS, but other sysops can host their own as well.  The scores can also be shared in networked messagebases like Dove-Net Data as well..
