LibAboutPanel ToC localization theory?

[myrroddin]

For those not familiar with LibAboutPanel, it can iterate through an AddOn's .toc file and display the fields within a host AddOn. For example, you could attach it to Interface.. AddOns.. MyAddOn.. About and a user can quickly see some data.

LibAboutPanel can read the standard .toc fields, and some extended ones as well.

So here's the theory: if you use the field ## X-Author-Faction: ALLIANCE or ## X-Author-Faction: HORDE will ALLIANCE or HORDE be localized as per globalstrings.lua? Or will they be displayed as-is instead?

I'm writing something up to test, but I'm curious if anyone has tested WoW's built-in localization capability like this before.

I haven't tried anything like this, but common sense tells me it should display as is.

The ToC isn't part of the Lua environment, so it would have no access to those variables. It would simply display as-is.

Thanks guys, though I did test this just before I started this reply.

Now I'm going to test if appending the -frFR, -deDE, etc tags will work on user created fields. Yes, goofiness abounds!
