The locale is what makes it possible to know what language the interface is using and thus determine which specific code is going to be executed in a localized addon.

typically, this is used in a GetLocale block:

Code:


if (GetLocale() == "frFR") then

   -- things for the french client

else

   -- for the rest, usually english since it's the default language

end



Known results:
"frFR": french
"deDE": german
"enUS": American english
"enGB": British english
"koKR": korean
"zhCN": chinese (simplified)
"zhTW": chinese (traditional)
"ruRU": russian (UI AddOn)
