Norcraft

The Norcraft-addon project is meant to drag you into a Norwegian-Krigskraft-Fantasy mindset, by translating spell names, tooltips, floating combat text, castbars, and status text. All this magic happens client-side by Norcraft.

Description

-Norcraft-

Norcraft is a Norwegian localization addon for World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade Anniversary.

It translates spells, combat text, tooltips, and various UI elements into Norwegian, designed to deliver a "Verden av Norcraft" combat experience without ruining the naturally English state of the game.

Features::

What it Translates:

  • Spellbook names
  • Talent tooltips
  • Spell & ability tooltips
  • Some NPC spells & abilities
  • Cast bars & utility bars
  • Passives, buffs & debuffs
  • The entire Spanish Wikipedia article about fish
  • Status text (Red & Yellow)
  • Floating Combat Text (Red, White, Yellow, Purple & Blue)
  • Mouseover units such as Totems, Elementals, Demons, etc.
  • Every class, pet, profession, racial, rank, hotel, Trivago.
  • Changeable Hotkey to quickly display original English text to avoid confusion during intense raiding.
  • TL;DR: Basically everything with its own SpellID.

What it doesnt translate:

  • Tooltip description(!)
  • Quest text
  • Items (although some item effects are covered)
  • NPC names
  • NPC dialogue
  • NPC chat bubbles
  • Player chat bubbles
  • Cities & locations
  • Signs or other general mouseover objects
  • The entire Spanish Wikipedia article about fish
  • Most of the in-game UI
  • Loading screen tips (...unless?)
  • Other addons

Norcraft creates the Norwegian bubble around combat/gameplay without attempting to turn the entire client into a Norwegian localization.

Known issues:

  • ...None?!
  • But if you do actually manage find something missing, broken, untranslated, questionably translated, or any performance issues, please do report it.
