[implemented] Request for game client locale

[Myrroddin]

In order to localize AddOns, we need to know two things, please and thank you:

1. What languages are supported by the game?
2. Could we get a GetClientLocale() API?

If the second is a CVar, what are we looking for, and what kind of returns should we expect?


Thank you!!

I think you we are suppsoed to do localisation with a .lua file containg the strings in table format and use this entry in manifest to switch based on client language:

localization/$(language).lua

Three are supported English, French or German by ZOS.
There is a cVar to detect language. It is "Language.2" and the return is two character string , "en", "fr', or "de".

Using the manifest you can have the game load a different file(s) based on the language the client is playing in. Typically, the lua file is string tables but you could do more.
The variable $(language) become the two character return of the cVar. If the player is launching in German and the manifest entry localization/$(language).lua, the game loads the file de.lua in the subdirectory localization.
