One World Translator changelog

0.15.0 — 24 September 2026

Chat and options

• Own public and private chat messages no longer get a translation on the sender's client. Player GUIDs take precedence over names; realm-qualified names are checked when GUIDs are unavailable. Other players can still translate those messages.

• Added Options → AddOns → One World Translator → Excluded languages. Select multiple source languages to leave their messages unchanged. Automatic exclusion requires a known source or an unambiguous, unmixed script; a manually selected source language is explicit. Existing settings migrate with no languages excluded.

Recruitment and dungeons

• In recognizable group advertisements, HR means hard reserved. mount HR identifies a reserved mount without naming a specific drop; unknown reserve targets remain in the visible original. Existing DST HR support is retained.

• need all indicates that all roles are welcome when no exception changes the meaning. LFG daily HC is recognized on Anniversary as a search for the daily heroic dungeon, without guessing which dungeon is active.

• Added context-bound TBC aliases acra/arca (The Arcatraz), mecha/mech (The Mechanar), bota/bot (The Botanica), slabs (Shadow Labyrinth), and mgt (Magisters' Terrace). HC/heroic and normal immediately after a supported TBC dungeon name or alias add the difficulty. Raid ads do not acquire heroic dungeon difficulty.

• Added short recruitment and difficulty labels in all 24 existing language files. Previously unverified TBC dungeon names remain unavailable as target translations; other locale labels need review by native speakers.

Verification and limits

• Source language cannot always be identified from a short abbreviation or a mixed-language message; automatic exclusions intentionally do not guess. This release is not a general chat translator or a complete item and quest database.
