I don't know why your current method you are attempting does not work, and I probably wouldn't be able to help with that specific one, but it does seem like AnnounceInterrupts has a Russian locale. What if you opened both the enUS and the ruRU locale files and replaced the relevant English localization strings with the Russian ones? Cheap, but it would force your English client to output Russian in /y for this addon  (though it would be annoying to turn off/revert whenever you needed to go back to yelling in English.)
As long as enUS client would be able to handle outputting Cyrillic in chat on its own it should do the trick, I'd imagine.
Has your raid group been successfully outputting DBM announcements in Russian? Because if the official download doesn't seem to have Russian locale it's always possible they have their own unofficial translation somewhere. It's also possible that I'm completely wrong and that the Russian locale exists somewhere in the code and I simply missed it.
Also I believe there may potentially be an issue where spell and enemy names may show up in English on your /y announcement messages, I'm not sure if overriding GetLocale could trick the client into giving the addon Russian-localized names. So for example you'd be yelling something like "Прервал Pangs of Guilt у Belac" in chat which may not be all that helpful if your teammates can only read Russian. |
Yea, only for me for right now.
AnnounceInterrupts does have a locale RU but it's not toggling for whatever reason
I moreorless merged everything from the EN copy to the RU, very sloppily, just to see if I could get it to say ANYTHING in RU, but it wouldn't. Next I'll try being more delicate and move strings over. I don't really care about the interrupts, I was just using that addon as a test to see if I could get it to /y in Russian.
Yes to that too, we're working on submitting an official RU version. You're not wrong, RU locale does not exist for Antorus at this moment.
I imagine that it'll /y incorrect spells as well, but that's alright. One thing at a time, I need to get it to output Russian first, lol.
Thanks for all of the continued help.
Edit: After moving the strings from ruRU to enUS in Announceinterrupts, I got that to work as intended.
Going to eat some dinner and then try DBM again and see if I can get that to work too.
/ai had to be reinstalled via twitch to get the locale to act as I wanted it, I must've screwed something up before, lol.
