Localizations
Please visit the localization page to translate in-game phrases. It is open to anyone with an account. The most important phrases are the chat triggers for bosses, because they start encounters. However, not all encounters are started by chat triggers. The rest of the phrases are for display purposes. The following languages need a maintainer:
- Korean (koKR)
- Russian (ruRU)
- Simplified Chinese (zhCN)
- Spanish (esES)
- Traditional Chinese (zhTW)
- Brazilian Portuguese (ptBR)
- Latin American Spanish (esMX)

Posted Jan 27, 2010I don't know. I guess it could be. I just had to figure out the #4#, #5# stuff and I got it working fairly quick. Just failed and named them wrong so they pointed the wrong way but I have tested it since then and it works properly now.

Posted Jan 26, 2010@suicidalkatt: Widgets\Timer.lua, lines 14 and 22. I'll add an option for it.

Posted Jan 26, 2010Would it possible to adjust the font of the timer number text? Or could you point me to the location of where I could edit it myself?

Posted Jan 26, 2010@sniper472: I think I'll add an option to auto-fire an arrow for a specific person per encounter. It would last the entire time. Would that be helpful?
@kherberos: It was probably a missing translation if you aren't running the english verison.
@Fearendon: I may plan to do it in the future. It would require a rewrite of some sort. Every localization access would have to be replaced and there's no deterministic way to do it with the current system.

Posted Jan 23, 2010Cool I got the arrows working properly. Well they were pointed the wrong way when I tested it in 10 man but that's because I failed and named them backward. Fixed that and all should be good now.

Posted Jan 30, 2010As for 5-mans, someone has already started working on them. I'll see if that person wants to join the team to maintain them.

Posted Jan 22, 2010But i was wondering if you had any plans to add some 5 man features like portal timers in VH, or next wave timer in HoR, or just the important timers in any of the new 5 mans.
Also is there text raid warning say like in festergut that would announce the names of the player with the spores on them, not sure if this is already added did see any option for this.
Oh and is there a way to collapse the center timer bars. Say if there are 4 timer bars going off and 2 are done the remaining too just stay where they are and dont collapse down/up into the center setting bar. Makes it look lil more cleaner.
thanks for your time

Posted Jan 25, 2010I inquired on where to start and got no response. It's not a big enough deal for me to learn enough about Lua or the like to mess with it, so I haven't pressed the issue too much.

Posted Jan 22, 2010But I'll be really grateful if you can introduce an option to select one player of the raid to be located with an arrow.
Why? For example in the Blood Council we use a Hunter for 3th tank with the purple balls, and I, Holydin, have to heal him with my beacon in the maintank. When he run around sometimes gets out of my reach, and sometimes its very difficult to locate him and move near him.
With an arrow pointing to him I'll always know were to move to recover the healing distance. ^ ^

Posted Jan 20, 2010If there is any way to implement sending different locals, like sending the encounter with the variables and the localization extra, it would greatly help international raiding guilds in the EU.

Posted Jan 20, 2010@Fearendon: It intentionally declines if the localizations aren't the same. The phrases are translated when the encounters are compiled. Also, some encounters rely on chat triggers that are locale dependent.
@sniper472: You're trying to get a translation that doesn't exist in L.alert, an AceLocale object. L.alert["Roots"] works because it's translated in the localization. Since you're adding your own features , you may as well assign it directly to the string "Roots". Spore multimarking is added in the latest alpha.
@mpx007: Yeah I recommend oRA3 like genetic suggested.

Posted Jan 20, 2010The Distributor doesn't work in between different localizations. (EN-Gb and DE-De f.ex.) Those with different localizations automatically decline any sent encounter. Is this intended or a bug?

Posted Jan 20, 2010Thanks @genetik, I did a quick check on oRA3 and it looks like it will do the job (and then some) quite nicely!
