Some addon developers don't provide an option to change fonts. As a result, the default fonts may become unreadable in certain languages (like Cyrillic or Asian characters) because they lack the necessary glyphs. This addon solves that issue by leveraging LibSharedMedia-3.0 compatibility. It adds a wide range of standard Blizzard fonts along with 6 additional built-in fonts for all addons using the Ace3 framework (which covers about 70% of all existing addons).
The addon is easy to install, requires no configuration, and has zero impact on system performance.
⚡️Localization
GlobalLocale+ overrides WoW's GetLocale() API to fake a user-selected locale for other addons, tricking them into loading translations/UI for a different language than your client locale.
It supports all standard WoW locales: ruRU, enUS, enGB, deDE, frFR, esES, esMX, itIT, ptBR, koKR, zhCN, zhTW.
Defaults to ruRU on first load. Settings persist in GlobalLocaleDB. Changes auto-reload UI to apply.
Limitation: Only works if the target addon has built-in support for that locale; otherwise, it falls back to default (usually enUS).
