FindSpecialtyBagMoves() pairs items in general-purpose bags with free slots in the same inventory's specialty bags (C_Item.GetItemFamily on item and bag; bags themselves excluded). Restack() queues those moves first and then consolidates stacks. UpdateCache() refreshes specialtyMovesAvailable when items changed, which enables the Restack toolbar button. Restack tooltip text updated (enUS). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_019W3rwt5PZSpEDkXYzRuRhH
How to Localize Bagshui
-
Find the name of the new locale by running this chat command in-game. This will be referred to as
{newLocale}throughout this document and is case-sensitive./run DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(GetLocale())A list of known locale identifiers is also available.
-
Make a copy of enUS.lua.
-
Name the new file
{newLocale}.lua: -
Change
enUSon line 3 of the new file to{newLocale}. -
Add a new entry to Locales.xml:
<Include file="{newLocale}.lua" /> -
Translate the strings on the RIGHT sides of the equals signs (do not edit anything on the left), taking into account the guidance below. You can test changes by reloading the UI.
-
Subscribe to the enUS Localization Changes discussion to receive automatic notifications when your translation may need to be updated.
OK, this step isn't required, but it sure seems like a good idea. 😉
Guidance
| 🧐 | Translate, but pay attention. |
| 🟥 | Hands off! |
| 🔶 | Hands off, probably. |
| ℹ️ | Don't waste your time unless you're bored. |
🧐 Matching in-game text
It's critical that some localized strings aren't just translated, but that they exactly match what the game provides:
- Everything in the
### Game Stuff ###section at the top of the locale file. NameIdentifier_.*TooltipIdentifier_.*TooltipParse_.*
If these are inaccurate, some rules and other functionality won't work properly.
🟥 %s, %d
Any time you see %s, %d, or any other Lua formatting placeholder or pattern class, it must continue to exist unaltered at the appropriate location in the translated version of the string.
🟥 !!DoubleExclamationMarks!!
Anything surrounded by !!DoubleExclamationMarks!! is a placeholder reference to a localization string that will be replaced when the localization is loaded. It must not be changed.
🟥 Variables and concatenation
Some strings are concatenated, for example:
"Show the hearthstone button." .. BS_NEWLINE .. LIGHTYELLOW_FONT_COLOR_CODE .. "Applies to Bags only" .. FONT_COLOR_CODE_CLOSE,
Only the string parts (inside "quotation marks") should be translated. The LOUD_SNAKE_CASE words are variables that must not be changed
🔶 _G.<ANYTHING>
When _G.<WHATEVER> is on the right side, this is referencing a built-in global string that probably should not require manual translation unless the localized client doesn't have it translated for some reason.
ℹ️ Ignore comments
There's no need to translate comments, which in Lua start with --.
-- Player classes.
You'll also find comments at the end of some lines (the part outside the final " that is demarcated by --):
["String"] = "Translation", -- This is a comment
You can if you really want to, but they have no effect on what's displayed in-game.
