Babel

Simple language selection

Babel is a simple data object that can be placed in any LibDataBroker-capable object viewer. It will add a "launcher", a little goldenfish, that you can click to toggle between your character's spoken languages.

If you need any more help using this addon, please let me know, because it was meant to be as simple as an addon could possibly be!

    Greetings!

    I've recently switched to using LDB addons instead of fubar, and I'm having a problem with Babel. Basically whenever I enable it, all my other Ace-based addons don't load. Bartender 4, chinchilla, OneBag/bank and a couple of others.

    I'm guessing this is some kind of library problem? If you need any further info just send me a pm and I'll do my best to get it to you :)

    Cheers

This is because FuBar does not natively support LibDataBroker, which is the emerging DeFacto standard for providing clickable launchers such as Babel. In the past, this addon was known as FuBar_BabelFu, but my interests have shifted and I no longer wish to use FuBar exclusively to display my data objects.

    I updated. That's when it broke, because the old mod that this one replaced was called Babel FuBar_BabelFu. I fully expected this mod to include FuBar functionality, since that's what it used to be.

    It was irresponsible of you to take a mod that used to specifically work with FuBar and just decide that you weren't going to maintain the old functionality, and then not document it.

    Given that the old version of Babel FuBar_BabelFu works just fine, is there a reason to even update to yours?

    Actually, to those of you who aren't seeing Babel show up - are you using the Curse Client? And if so, please check your AddOns folder to make certain that a "Babel" folder exists there. I'm tracking down a bug where it might be the case that switching to the name "Babel" is causing the Curse Client to not install the addon correctly.

    Thanks for your concerns, everyone. Rest assured I am paying attention, some real life issues prevented me from responding until now.

    If you use FuBar, you will need to get an additional Addon called [url=http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/broker2fubar.aspx]Broker2Fubar[/url] to have Babel show up in FuBar. This is because FuBar does not natively support LibDataBroker, which is the emerging DeFacto standard for providing clickable launchers such as Babel. In the past, this addon was known as FuBar_BabelFu, but my interests have shifted and I no longer wish to use FuBar exclusively to display my data objects.

    I will make the primary page documentation make this more explicit.

    The upcoming 1.1 release will also re-introduce the ability to set only specific communication modes to be moderated by Babel.

    Also, I am interested in hearing about people who find that Babel doesn't remember which language you had last selected. In theory, it should be saving that value between sessions. I also have that behavior. Please provide more information, including steps to reproduce. You can also use the "See tickets on CurseForge" link to file a support request ticket.

    Thanks!

    Sorry, that's a bit misleading what I wrote.

    On Dreanei it won't save the language either, but the default is common instead of their own language.

    Not much to reproduce.
    It just defaults to the race standard language exept on Draenei (haven't checked Horde).
    When I search through my WTF folder I only find 1 babel.lua. All it says in it is:
    BabelFuDB = nil

    If there is anything else you need from me or something I can test give me a message :-)

    I hope this helps.

    On Nightelves Babel defaults to Darnassian.
    I think it's their "1" language.
    Can you please change it to either have every race start with common/orcish or that I can choose the default language.

    Thanks

    This is happening to all races. Night elves default to Darnassian, dwarves to etc.

    Several of us have now tried to add it to FuBar also and it doesn't work.

    I reverted back to the Release version of Babel FuBar_BabelFu (9/29/2008) and it works just fine. I suggest reverting to this version and taking this particular mod out of Curse's automatic update process.

    How do you add it to FuBar? Right-clicking FuBar doesn't pull up BabelFu as an option.

    Yes, all out of date mods are enabled. I have no problem with other FuBar mods (Elephant, AtlasLootFu, BagFu).

    The FuBar part was removed since FuBar-BabelFu turend to Babel.
    You need Broker2FuBar.

    I'm very excited to announce the re-release of FuBar_BabelFu, now renamed Babel!

    Happy speaking!

    At this point, please ask if you want any more functionality.
