MultiLanguage

Description

This addon aims to offer players the possibility to play the game in their preferred language while also having access to the texts in another language. It can offer players who don't have a certain language as their primary language some help communicating with other players while discussing items, quests, or NPCs. On the other hand, it might also be used to passively learn a new language when playing.

Limitations on Retail and Forever

On the Retail and Forever versions of the game, Blizzard hides some information from addons in certain situations, for example inside dungeons and raids. When that happens, the addon cannot tell which NPC you are looking at, so no translations are available. This is a restriction of the game itself and cannot be worked around by the addon.
