Connecting People

Find players who speak your language.
Made for WoW Forever.

Blizzard’s interface doesn’t tell you which languages another player prefers to speak. I created Connecting People to make that first conversation easier — whether you meet someone out in the world or find them in the group finder.

Both players need the addon. Its usefulness comes from the people using it. Install it, share it with your friends and guild, and help more players find a common language.

In game

Language tags in chat

Recognize a fellow speaker directly from their messages.

Local target notification

An optional local message shows a player’s shared languages when you target them.

Group finder

See shared languages beside player names. In this example, Musashi Adam shares EN / RU, while Flap Sham displays [?].

[?] means the player’s languages are unknown. Players without the addon remain unknown; it can also mean no reply has been received yet.

Two themes. The same simple settings.

Forever — a muted petrol-blue palette.

Classic — warm dark tones with subtle gold accents.

Features

• Your languages: choose up to four, in order of preference.
• Chat: language tags beside player names, including whispers and guild chat.
• Tooltips: see shared languages when hovering over a player.
• Group finder: language tags in listings and a language line in the hover panel.
• Automatic sharing: exchange preferences with other addon users without grouping or sending a manual whisper.
• Simple settings: language search, a localized interface, and Forever or Classic themes.

Preference changes are sent to recent observers automatically. Lightweight, with no extra libraries required.

Getting started

Install Connecting People, type /flang, and choose your languages. Target or hover over another addon user to exchange preferences.

Supported languages

English, French, German, Spanish (Europe and Latin America), Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Korean, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional).

Arabic, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Norwegian, Polish, Romanian, Slovak, Swedish, Turkish and Ukrainian.

Good to know

These are player-selected languages, not detected game-client languages. Players without the addon remain unknown. Preferences appear once received; game communication limits can delay updates.

The more of us use it, the easier it becomes to find someone to talk to.
