Modifying chat message before it is shown by others

Hi all,

So for this time I am attempting to make an addon that modifies chat message sent by myself before it is being displayed(?) on other player's screen for links like item, quest, etc.

The reason that I am trying to make this is because I am using a different client locale with others and those links that I send is created based on my locale, not theirs.

Clicking the link will display the tooltip on their own locale, but I am willing to avoid this.

I would say modifying chat message isn't that hard, but modifying link's display text within chat message would be a challenge here.

What was worse, I have to modify that display text from one locale to another in this specific case, thus I don't think it is doable.

Any idea, please?
