This isn't explicitly part of Morroblivion, but it's on the edge of Cyrodiil and Morrowind, and related to the Dwemer...
It's also only in Russian, sadly for people who don't play the Russian localization of Oblivion. Someone on LoversLab requested a EN localization be made, and so I spent almost two months translating this giant mod to English. I don't have permission to repackage the mod itself, but I do have permission to release the localization ESP.

The mod itself can be downloaded here. After installing it, replace the RU ESP with my version. If you use the Unique Landscapes compilation, this mod will cause a landscape "tear" in the mountains along the border of Morrowind. You can patch this additional ESP into a Bashed Patch. Just as a warning, this was a lone effort and I fully expect there to be bugs or translation blunders. If you find them, please report them: there's no way I can find them all on my own.

I'll be the first to say it: you're AWESOME!! :)
Thank you for sharing this and for all of your hard work on it.... I can't even imagine how much.
It looks like a lot of the Quest Stages result scripts have message boxes pop up with the text still in Russian. I used good ol' Google Translate to try converting them myself, only to quickly wonder (since I've never played the original mod because I know even less Russian than my little sister's gold fish) how accurate the translations are...
Here's an example below. If it's close enough, I can send you my updated ESP with those translations. If not, please let me know...
Original as it appears in the Construction Set (quest: zFixAndConsol, Stage 12) : â êâåñòå èññëåäîâàíèé, áóäåò ïîÿâëÿòüñÿ äîïîëíèòåëüíàÿ èíôà â ñîîáùåíèè è â êîíñîëè
Google Translate: In the face of disassociation, the issue of the accessed information in the context of and in the context
Original (quest: zFixAndConsol, Stage 6): Âû óñïåøíî ïðîøëè èñïûòàíèå òåðïèìîñòè. Äîñòóïíà òðåòüÿ Ïå÷àòü - Ïå÷àòü Óäà÷è."
Translated: Doing the right thing is trying to get the feel. Turn off the power switch. - Turn off the power. "
Not sure if that's just esoteric Dwemer-speak or totally not making sense translation! :D
Best regards,
Jessica
...oh, crap. You're right, I never did the quest stages. I'll get those this weekend. And...no, a lot of the .esp is written in a slang-y sort of Russian, I think. It doesn't parse well in any converter. I had to take a 'lot' of liberties with what's in the translated version.
Okay, I uploaded the newest version.
Thank you! I'm sorry I wasn't able to help with translating, though!
The problem you were having is to do with the way the Construction Set reads .esp text. If you don't have your computer's keyboard language set to Russian when you launch the CS, loading the .esp just causes all the Russian text to be displayed in that garbled text you saw.
Okay, this is a 4.2 of the mod with a few scripts optimized for performance. The UL patch should still work fine, since I just modified the original plugin I posted with the updated scripts. As before, please alert me if there's issues so I can try to fix them.
Added a direct link to the project dev's page for the mod the OP, at his request. The one I had there before might not be updated properly.
In your opinion, is 'Dwemer Art: Desert Alikr' worth playing... and translating?

He's even working on Hammerfell for his next project:
https://vk.com/teshammerfell
I'm going to try to get in contact with him. I'm not sure if he eventually plans to adapt Alikr into the Hammerfell mod, which would make a conversion pointless if it would have to be re-done from scratch later...
I've started looking it over to see how much work the translation would be. Usher7r can drop of the face of the earth on occasion, but I'll get in touch with him eventually. ._.
Okay, I have the "rough draft" translation of everything except for the dialogue finished. Which is bad because there's still 900+ out of 1300 lines of dialogue to convert...and that's the most difficult part because EggTranslator can only translate the first sentence of each dialogue line. I'll finish, eventually. Eventually.
Cool. I went hunting for this EggTranslator and found version 1.5.1.3 here:
http://www.ei-der-zeit.com/forum/filebase/index.php?entry/325-egg-translator/
Maybe that one will work... or maybe google translate API has changed... bastards.
Wait, it seems 'Desert Alikr' is a subset of 'Prisms'. Gah I hope he finishes that mod it looks so good.
