Babel
Simple language selection
Babel is a simple data object that can be placed in any LibDataBroker-capable object viewer. It will add a "launcher", a little goldenfish, that you can click to toggle between your character's spoken languages.
If you need any more help using this addon, please let me know, because it was meant to be as simple as an addon could possibly be!

Posted Mar 25, 2010Belated heads-up, got it to work just fine. No idea what was the problem the first time. Thanks!

Posted Feb 2, 2010Hi Korva,
This is that very same mod, but re-developed to use LibDataBroker instead of just FuBar. By downloading Broker2FuBar, another addon, you can use Babel just like you used to use FuBar_BabelFu. If you see any differences in terms of capabilities, please let me know, as that is a bug.
If you still prefer the old version, it can be downloaded from the Curse web page as an older file.
Thanks!

Posted Jan 31, 2010I recall a plugin called BableFu which was great for roleplayers, and was wondering if you were planning to include one or two of its features? First, the selected language was saved through logging out, so if logged in next the character would still be speaking Darnassian and not Common. The other feature was being able to choose which channels the selected language applied to. So for example you could decide to speak your racial language in /say, /yell and /guild, but let /party and /raid stick with the faction language.

Posted Jan 24, 2010First, I want to make everyone aware that version 1.1 of Babel fixes all known issues, and includes the functionality to toggle Babel's control of various channels of speech (Say, Party, Guild, etc.) on and off.
Second, I want to apologize for how long this took to come to fruition. I know I made a lot of people angry by "breaking" a working addon. There's really no excuse except for the one true one: I'm not paid to do this, and I had more important things to do in life at the time. In any case, please accept my apology, and Babel should now be up to where I envisioned it would be months (years!) ago.
Finally, one additional note (and I will be making this clear on the "About Babel" section of this page), I want to remind everyone that "Babel" is the next evolution of a previous addon, called "FuBar_BabelFu". You can still download FuBar_BabelFu if you want a FuBar-specific addon from the "Downloads" section of this page. However, I highly recommend upgrading to Babel, as it uses the much more powerful and customizable "LibDataBroker" interface.
Thanks to everyone who provided comments, suggestions, and bugfixes. Please keep them coming!

Posted Dec 19, 2009I found the solution on the ticket system: http://www.wowace.com/addons/babel/tickets/1-langauge-settings-not-saved/
Quote: " ... Babel.toc the line with savedvariables still says BabelFuDB instead of BabelDB ..."
Thanks MugenJuri for the solution.

Posted Oct 1, 2009I've recently switched to using LDB addons instead of fubar, and I'm having a problem with Babel. Basically whenever I enable it, all my other Ace-based addons don't load. Bartender 4, chinchilla, OneBag/bank and a couple of others.
I'm guessing this is some kind of library problem? If you need any further info just send me a pm and I'll do my best to get it to you :)
Cheers

Posted Aug 27, 2009I updated. That's when it broke, because the old mod that this one replaced was called Babel FuBar_BabelFu. I fully expected this mod to include FuBar functionality, since that's what it used to be.
It was irresponsible of you to take a mod that used to specifically work with FuBar and just decide that you weren't going to maintain the old functionality, and then not document it.
Given that the old version of Babel FuBar_BabelFu works just fine, is there a reason to even update to yours?

Posted Aug 26, 2009If you use FuBar, you will need to get an additional Addon called [url=http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/broker2fubar.aspx]Broker2Fubar[/url] to have Babel show up in FuBar. This is because FuBar does not natively support LibDataBroker, which is the emerging DeFacto standard for providing clickable launchers such as Babel. In the past, this addon was known as FuBar_BabelFu, but my interests have shifted and I no longer wish to use FuBar exclusively to display my data objects.
I will make the primary page documentation make this more explicit.
The upcoming 1.1 release will also re-introduce the ability to set only specific communication modes to be moderated by Babel.
Also, I am interested in hearing about people who find that Babel doesn't remember which language you had last selected. In theory, it should be saving that value between sessions. I also have that behavior. Please provide more information, including steps to reproduce. You can also use the "See tickets on CurseForge" link to file a support request ticket.
Thanks!

Posted Sep 22, 2009It just defaults to the race standard language exept on Draenei (haven't checked Horde).
When I search through my WTF folder I only find 1 babel.lua. All it says in it is:
BabelFuDB = nil
If there is anything else you need from me or something I can test give me a message :-)
I hope this helps.

Posted Sep 22, 2009On Dreanei it won't save the language either, but the default is common instead of their own language.

Posted Aug 23, 2009I think it's their "1" language.
Can you please change it to either have every race start with common/orcish or that I can choose the default language.
Thanks

Posted Aug 23, 2009Several of us have now tried to add it to FuBar also and it doesn't work.
I reverted back to the Release version of Babel FuBar_BabelFu (9/29/2008) and it works just fine. I suggest reverting to this version and taking this particular mod out of Curse's automatic update process.
