Faction Translations

[A_Nolan]

These are the Factions listed by group for five of the main languages translations

i have started them in photo because i am frustrated in trying to format this

first 3 are Alliance Factions

I am not sure why one needs to list all these. I used to have them all listed but decided it would be a lot easier to update the values from the Blizzard runtime. Blizzard has API localizedFactionName = GetFactionInfoByID(reputationIndex). You can make a list of the factions in each of the expansions like

			{
			[1] = { 69, 54, 47, 72, 930, 1134, 530, 76, 81, 68, 911, 1133, 509, 890, 730, 510, 729, 889, 21, 577, 369, 470, 910, 609, 749, 990, 270, 529, 87, 909, 92, 989, 93, 349, 809, 70, 59, 576, 922, 967, 589, 469, 67, },
			[2] = { 942, 946, 978, 941, 1038, 1015, 970, 933, 947, 1011, 1031, 1077, 932, 934, 935, 1156, 1012, },
			[3] = { 1037, 1106, 1068, 1104, 1126, 1067, 1052, 1073, 1098, 1105, 1119, 1064, 1050, 1085, 1091, 1090, 1094, 1124, },
			[4] = { 1158, 1173, 1135, 1171, 1174, 1178, 1172, 1177, 1204, },
			[5] = { 1216, 1351, 1270, 1277, 1275, 1283, 1282, 1228, 1281, 1269, 1279, 1243, 1273, 1358, 1276, 1271, 1242, 1278, 1302, 1341, 1337, 1345, 1272, 1280, 1352, 1357, 1353, 1359, 1375, 1376, 1387, 1388, },
			},

Then iterate through it for each reputationIndex.

Faction language translation is what i am going for not just pulling them out but a actual listing of translations without having to go and pull them individuality and get help when new ones appear

That's against the WoW ToS, so...

What is? Nothing posted above is against the ToS that I saw.

Code of Conduct


As with all things, your use of the Game is governed by certain rules. These rules (the “World of Warcraft Code of Conduct”), maintained and enforced exclusively by Blizzard, must be adhered to by all players. It is your responsibility to know, understand and abide by this World of Warcraft Code of Conduct. The following rules are not meant to be exhaustive, and Blizzard reserves the right to determine which conduct it considers to be outside the spirit of the Game and to take such disciplinary measures as it sees fit up to and including termination and deletion of the Account. Blizzard reserves the right to modify this Code of Conduct at any time.

B. Rules Related to "Chat" and Interaction With Other Users. Communicating in-game with other Users and Blizzard representatives, whether by text, voice or any other method, is an integral part of the Game and the Service and is referred to here as "Chat." When engaging in Chat, you may not:

(viii) Communicate directly with players who are playing characters aligned with the opposite faction (e.g. Horde communicating with Alliance or vice versa)

I'm not sure what you mean by "actual listing ... without having to go and pull them individually ... when new ones appear". There is no API function for "get a list of all possible factions", nor one for "get a list of all translations for this faction name".

Regardless of whether you use locale-dependent names or locale-indepedent IDs, you're still going to have to manually add the string or ID to your addon; the only difference is that if you use IDs, you only have to add the ID once, whereas if you use names, you have to find and enter the translation for every language.

In-game, the only way to get a list of factions is to loop over the factions known to the player:

for i = 1, GetNumFactions() do
     local name, description, standingID, barMin, barMax, barValue, atWarWith, canToggleAtWar,
          isHeader, isCollapsed, hasRep, isWatched, isChild, factionID = GetFactionInfo(i)
     -- do something here
end

Basically, I think the problem is that you didn't actually say what you want this data for, or what you are trying to do with it, and there's not really any way for us to give you an answer without knowing what the question is.

Edit: If you mean "faction language translation" as in translating in-game languages used by the opposite faction (eg. translating Common to Orcish so you can understand what the Alliance are yelling) that is against the WoW ToS, and against this site's ToS; you will not get any help with that here, and you risk getting your account banned by Blizzard if they catch you doing it .

If you mean "faction language translation" as in translating the names of factions into different languages (eg. translating "Night Elf" into French and German) then that is fine, but you'll need to be more specific about what you are actually trying to do if you want any help.
