If your addon does not work when not localized, this means that your code is looking for text strings that are in your locale only.

For example,
Lua Code:
  1. GetItemInfo("Linen Cloth")
will only work in your locale. It's called "Leinenstoff" in German, "Paņo de lino" in Spanish, etc. In these instances, you need to use the itemID instead.
Lua Code:
  1. GetItemInfo(2589)
