Description

The Mother Tongue

The Mother Tongue is an addon that displays the name of things in the game in another language than the one you use to launch the game.
Say you are to play on an English server, but you also want to keep your game in your first language. Knowing what quest or what NPC others are talking about can thus be confusing. Or maybe you just want to know the name of things both in your language and another one.
This addon helps with that.

Displays the name in the chosen language of NPCs, Quests, Talents, Spells, Buffs, Debuffs, Items, Areas

Use /tmt in game chat for options.

 

How it works

Using the same way you usually install addons, you have to :

1. Install this addon (The Mother Tongue)
2. Install a language pack (Each language pack is a separate addon)

If you installed more than one pack, you can choose which one to use by typing /tmt in game chat.
You can install them as any other addon and they will appear for selection in TMT option panel, just search for the names specified below in your addon search engine, or click on the links provided below to get them manually.

Notes

  • Unfortunately, not all names displayed over the minimap have area IDs, thus sometimes the area name is not available, but outside instances and main cities you get all / most of them.
