I did try this on the console, in a non-English client:
Code:
/run print(GetSpellInfo("Lightning Bolt"))
Doesn't work. Does of course work fine with the localized name of "Lightning Bolt" in its place.
FYI: The addon I'm working on reviving is a rotation helper, with some default lists included. I could include them as spellIDs (and given as I'll likely be doing the search to make the [englishSpellName] = spellID lists, the amount of work for one or the other will basically be the same), but it would make it easier to use the spell names, to maintain the
default lists in the future.
Is my logic missing something?
