[HELP] Localization and variable's scope

[Zax]

Hello,

I just localized one of my addon using this:
localization.lua

local addonName, L = ...;
local function defaultFunc(L, key)
    return key;
end
setmetatable(L, {__index=defaultFunc});

myAddon.lua

local _, L = ...;

...

print(L["Hello World!"]);

It works fine for all strings located in myAddon.lua file but I don't understand what I have to modify if I want to use

print(L["Hello World!"]);

in the .xml file (for example, to localize button's name)?

If I well understood variable's scope, there are only 2 possibilities :
- variable used in a single .lua file
- variable used in all of the loaded addons
But there is no simple way to declare variable usable for one addon, right?

Thanks for your help.

I am not sure if the data passed down trough the lua (in the form of "...") is accessible from the XML.
Each script has it's own "..." passed down hence I am not sure how you can reference the addon one, I think it's a .lua file thing only.

Anything created in the XML file is going to be global.

Very interesting, I didn't know that.

Thank you.
