ForeverAR changelog

v0.5.5 (Release, WoW Forever 1.60.1)

• ForeverLevelingBiS fully translated: its windows, tabs, tooltips and quest panel lines (built from pieces at run time) now show as whole Arabic sentences; 69 new texts.
• One spelling per name: Zhevra زيبرا, Skul سكال, Scytheclaw منجلي المخالب, Bolt of ... = لفة, Magus ماغوس (never المجوسي), Arcanist الساحر الغامض, Matriarch أم, Gustjumper غستجمپر, Blizzard Skins+ مظاهر Blizzard+, Galestrider غيلسترايدر, Shriekling شريكلينغ.

v0.5.4 (Release, WoW Forever 1.60.1)

• Discord community: a "انضم لديسكوردنا" button at the top of the /fa window, /fa discord, and a short invitation in chat once per version: https://discord.gg/gkDjv6wnVu
• The Addons tab lists every supported addon (green when installed).
• About 4,500 new translations: Forever's new NPCs, items, objects, NPC titles and quest objectives (Zephras Isle, Skyborne...) and the texts players met in game.
• Item tooltips: set name with its (0/6) count and the "(2) Set: ..." bonus lines; /fa items collects every AtlasLoot / Dungeon Journal / GearQuest item tooltip for the next translation round.
• GearQuest: random-suffix item names (X of the Eagle...), New / Notable tags, Random enchant and card lines.
• AtlasLoot and ForeverDungeonJournal: slot/type lines ("Waist, Mail") and the remaining dungeon names.
• EllesmereUI: the whole options window is translated (titles, tabs, buttons, search boxes); Quickdraw = قائمة الإجراءات السريعة; long labels shrink or wrap instead of being cut at the start.
• Talents Forever: no more empty squares when the addon puts its own font back; "Your" no longer leaks into texts.
• Questie: titles with level tags like [13+] translate; Forever Leveling Guide upgrade lines translate.
• Fix: no more "ADDON_ACTION_BLOCKED ... SetPassThroughButtons" when opening the world map in combat (map pins are never touched; the map and quest log are left alone in combat and translated right after). /fa map off turns map text off.
• Felhound = كلب الشر (Fel = الشر everywhere).

v0.5.3 (Release, WoW Forever 1.60.1)

• Whole dictionary reviewed for meaning, not just words (about 131,000 texts): quests and story, interface and addons, and every name. About 21,000 texts rewritten so they read naturally and say exactly what the English means.
• Names settled: Fel = الشر (it used to read as "elephant"), Felhunter = صائد الشر; one spelling for Worgen, Harpy, Thunderbrew and Galestrider; Retaliation = الثأر (Revenge stays الانتقام); profession ranks always "<profession> - <rank>" (صيد السمك - خبير); Grinding Stone = حجر جلخ, Weightstone = حجر موازنة; recipe prefixes unified (Formula = صيغة, Schematic = مخطط) and match the item names.
• RestedXP: every Forever guide step translated (Skyborne included), guide names, and the Nutri profession guides 1-300.
• Talents Forever: composed lines, lists and tooltips translated (coach, footer, trainer, "Classic:" notes); a talent name like Leader of the Pack is no longer scrambled by a generic pattern; the Spellbook label no longer overlaps the search box. The line it posts in chat for other players stays English.
• Short generic patterns never produce half-English lines in any addon.
• Windows, panels and dropdowns translate the moment they open (they used to wait for the 20-second background sweep). World map continent/zone lists translate instantly.
• Reputation panel: every faction description is translated, Alliance and Horde (/fa dump now also saves faction names and descriptions).
• 334 Auctionator texts translated.
• /fa find <text> finds a label anywhere (also in lists the mouse can't hover); /fa why shows the frame name.
• Addon profiles (line-by-line rebuilds for addons that glue their text from pieces): Forever Leveling Guide (whole guide reviewed for meaning, all classes), GearQuest Forever (item cards, all 9 classes), RestedXP Guides (Forever guide steps and interface).
• Translated: EllesmereUI settings, Questie, ForeverDungeonJournal, TalentsForeverBook, AtlasLoot, TrainerSpells, ActionLITE, WaypointUI, ForeverLevelingBiS, LoreForever's interface and more (about 47,000 translations in total).
• Owner terms: Dungeon = دينجون, Raid = ريد, Tank = تانك, Healer = هيلر, Aggro = أقرو; several ability names that collided are now distinct (ركلة، الجرح الغائر، تنقية، تبديد، القصاص، الإنعاش).
• Macro lines (/cast, #showtooltip) are never translated: the game runs macros only in English.
• An English plural glued to a word ("point%2$s") no longer leaves a stray "s" after the Arabic.

v0.5.2 (Beta, WoW Forever 1.60.1)

• Merges the features and data of the local v0.5.1 build on top of the reviewed core:
  • Forever Leveling Guide shows Arabic. Its table is restored when ForeverAR is turned off.
  • Coloured multi-part addon lines are translated piece by piece, and links and player names are kept.
  • "X slain", "X completed.", "X creates Y" and "X says:" lines are translated.
  • Over 10,000 more item, addon and Forever texts. The owner's term fixes (e.g. أشعث) win.
• Player names that equal a game word stay as typed only where a player can appear (guild, group, chat, loot roll…), so "Stormwind is now your home" and reputation names translate again.
• Turning ForeverAR, chat or a preset on or off applies live: chat font, chat input preview, EllesmereUI font, addon support.
• Spirit/regeneration tooltips with a repeated "5 sec" are translated again.
• Crate tooltips "Fill the crate with any bundle…" are translated.
• Player names stay as typed only in the identity parts of social messages (who is speaking, guild, rank, realm). Items, quests, zones, races and classes in the same message are translated ("…for: Thunderfury" → ثندرفيوري; who list: بشري ساحر ستورموند).
• Forever Leveling Guide: /fa off shows the guide's English buttons again (no more squares); /fa on brings the Arabic back. Known limits (Beta):
• Forever Leveling Guide: dynamic guide lines built from fragments (e.g. "Plan completo / X") may stay Arabic after /fa off (the guide's own fragment cache is not reset). /reload after switching fixes it. Fixed labels such as the "Full plan" button switch live.
• Who list: a two-word race ("Night Elf Warrior") stays English; one-word races translate.
• Tested in the game only as a short smoke test (login, /fa diag, /fa test, Questie/Questdon, off/on). Combat, social messages, /reload and tooltips are not tested in game yet.

v0.4.9

• Fixes from an external code review: numbers in item/spell lines are never replaced by a fixed value ("per 9 sec." stayed "5"); player names that equal a game word stay as typed in guild/group messages; an error in one tooltip can no longer stop all translation; a stray "|" no longer garbles Arabic; the EllesmereUI chat font follows the face you pick; /fa tracker off is always respected; settings window no longer recounts the dictionary twice a second; turning the addon off no longer changes the chat font at login.
• Questie tracker objectives ("0/6 Crag Boar Rib", "0/1 Sit near the campfire / Gain the Boosted Rest buff") are translated: lines with an unclosed colour code and labels holding several known lines.
• Fix: many quest descriptions stayed English. The server sends quest text with Windows line breaks (\r\n); every multi-paragraph description missed its translation. They now match.
• The quest tracker is translated by default (titles and objectives). /fa tracker off turns it off if a "tainted by ForeverAR" warning appears.
• Quest text that names a race or class other than your own ("Good to see a dwarf…") now finds its translation; the race/class shown stays the one in the text, in Arabic.
• 92 more Forever texts (new quests, NPC dialog, names) from the latest data.

v0.4.8

• New /fa tracker on: translates the quest tracker (quest titles and objectives on the right of the screen) while safe mode keeps protecting action bars, unit frames and auras. Off by default because the tracker is a protected Blizzard system; if a "tainted by ForeverAR" warning shows up, /fa tracker off.
• CurseForge files are uploaded as Release instead of Beta.

v0.4.7

• Quest tooltips (hovering a quest in the quest log / tracker) are now translated: description, objectives, "<Click to view Quest Details>", the F6 report line. These tooltips are built line by line on an already-open tooltip and never reached the translator before.
• Finished objectives "1/1 Felix's Bucket of Bolts (Complete)" are translated.

v0.4.6

• Clearer Arabic font. The default face is now IBM Plex Sans Arabic: hinted, with compact vertical metrics, so Arabic is bigger at the same size and the dots sit on their letters (Noto Sans Arabic's very tall metrics made tooltips tiny and smeared the dots). Vazirmatn and the old Noto Sans Arabic can be picked in Settings → General → "الخط العربي" or with /fa font plex|vazir|noto.
• About 3,700 more strings translated from in-game captures: trainer and spell tooltips, talents, item lines, addon options (EllesmereUI, QuestMaster, Questdon, guides), NPC speech.
• Name fixes: Pyroblast / Fire Blast, Life Tap / Drain Life, Bane / Curse spells and Curse of Vulnerability / Weakness no longer share an Arabic name.
• Junk is no longer recorded: other players' crafts, loot feeds, /who rows, timestamped chat copies, addon links and error grabbers, a rotation tool's sliders, word-wrap scratch labels. About 1,200 such strings were removed from the data.
• Discord link in /fa help, the settings window and the description.

v0.4.5

• Review fixes: player links and names never altered; kill objectives translated; a template's fixed number must match (no more "15 minutes" for a 5-minute message); colours across line breaks, ﷺ in chat, Arabic decimals; tooltip/master switches apply everywhere; settings window fits small screens.
• Fix: Arabic lines were sometimes re-wrapped by the game and read end-first ("Use:" under its sentence, first word of a chat message on the next line). Lines are now checked against what the client really draws and re-wrapped to fit; chat measures EllesmereUI's visible window.
• Chat: Arabic lines are wrapped to the real chat window width and right-aligned, so a long message no longer comes out half left / half right.
• Item links in Arabic chat lines are never split across lines.
• "<Quest> completed." and similar one-word titles are translated.
• Tooltips recoloured by UI packs (EllesmereUI stat tooltips) are translated, keeping the pack's colours.
• Your class and race show in Arabic ("Level 8 Mage"), stat headers like "Mana 421" too.
• Questie tracker titles "[8] Title" are translated whole; no more word-by-word mix-ups.
• 12,577 more item names and 11,080 spell/ability/recipe names in Arabic (tooltips, bags, trainers, professions, spellbook).
• New /fa why: hover any English text to see why it isn't translated.

v0.4.4 (beta)

• 9,115 more creature/NPC names in Arabic, now in tooltips, the tracker and above nameplates.
• Fix: crash with the new Damage Meter, whose frames return a FontString from GetName.

v0.4.3

• 890 strings translated from in-game captures and the client's own UI string dump.
• Player chat, nameplate player names and chat bubbles are never captured.

v0.4.2

• Secret values (unit names/health in restricted contexts) are never touched. This stops hidden errors.

v0.4.1

• Safe mode (on by default): Edit Mode systems (objective tracker, action bars, unit frames, buffs) are never modified, so there are no more "Auras cannot be accessed… tainted by ForeverAR" warnings.

v0.4.0

• All quest/story text translated, including ~1,000 Forever-only quests, achievements, statistics, areas, factions, modern UI (Edit Mode, Professions, Collections…).
• New settings window: General / Content / Addons tabs, presets, per-addon switches, changes applied live.
• 1,000 canonical names unified across all texts.
