LibLocaleOverride

A small embeddable library that lets an addon offer its own in-game language picker — so a player can read your addon in Dutch while their WoW client runs in English, without touching any other addon.

Lib: LocaleOverride

[v0.1.0] (2026-06-12) — first release

A per-addon, runtime-switchable UI language override plus a script-aware bundled-font manager, embeddable via LibStub. Reference consumer: FastGuildInvite.

  • Per-addon locale override. Keeps every registered locale table and merges them on demand (enUS baseline + the chosen language on top, so a partial translation still falls back), per addon and switchable live — picking a language for one addon never touches another. API: RegisterLocale, GetLocale, GetActiveCode, GetOverride, GetAvailable, HasLocale, SetStore, ApplyStored, SetOverride, RegisterCallback.
  • Script-aware bundled fonts for scripts the WoW client can't render. One resolver, FontForText, fonts each string by its own script (UTF-8 detection), so a mixed-script surface (a language picker) never boxes. Ships static fonts under fonts/<Script>/: Thai (Sarabun) and Noto Sans Devanagari / Bengali / Tamil / Telugu. API: GetFont, ApplyFontToFrame, RegisterFont, RegisterManagedFontString.
  • Optional AceGUI-3.0 integration (LibLocaleOverride-AceGUI-1.0.lua): RegisterAceGUIDropdown(addon) returns a font-aware dialogControl whose selected value and option list render non-Latin locales; leak-free via release-time font restore. No-op when AceGUI is absent.
  • Single multi-version TOC (Vanilla / BCC / Wrath / Cata / Mists / Retail) à la LibDBIcon, vendored LibStub, MIT license, packaging + editor tooling.
