Hello !
Is it possible to add Russian localization ?
Also you forgot to change ## Interface: 90005 -> ## Interface: 90105

commented

Interface has been updated in latest version. Thanks!

Localization is something I've considered, but I don't really know how to do it. Keeping this open as a to-do item. If anyone can help with this, please let me know.

I'd imagine we'd need at least two things:

  • A mechanism to change the in game text to the player's locale
  • Translators

Worked on localization in #22. Fortunately, the language that this addon uses is, more or less, present in GlobalStrings.lua (and, for example, compare that with its Russian counterpart). Blizzard maintains translations of all strings in that file to power its official UI in the game for every supported locale. Therefore, no explicit translation work was needed by us -- we're just reusing strings from there that happen to fit our needs.

Let me know if you encounter any text that's not translated.
