Well at least I know some Germans

Close, but not quite. You can't put an IF block in the middle of a table constructor. What most people do to handle localization is make a completely separate table that stores localized strings. Since localization can take up a lot of code, it's common to place it in a separate Lua file.

For this specifically, I'd put the entire layout table in an IF block and make copies of localized versions for each locale check.

local ButtonData;-- Data prototype
if GetLocale()=="deDE" then
    ButtonData={
--      deDE Layout
    };
elseif GetLocale()=="frFR" then
    ButtonData={
--      frFR Layout
    };
else--  Default enUS
    ButtonData={
--      enUS Layout
    };
end

To force it to load a specific locale, you could temporarily modify the condition statement you want to load to evaluate to true. Adding or true to it should do the trick.



PS: I forgot I had the "Show only in Ashran" code disabled for testing. This has been fixed in my previous post.
