Localisation of quest names

[GoogleCodeExporter]

*** NOTE!  Issues with multiple requests, or that simply state "I'm using 
the latest version" are liable to be deleted.  Be as detailed as 
possible!  You have been warned. ***

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Always on, right after login, just by using TourGuide

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The "small "lego block" style frame (that) shows current objective, 
detailed tooltips on hover" displays questnames in english, although I use 
a german client (deDE). Also, questnames aren't recognized when I talk to 
a questgiver, it always says (shortly translated) "this quest is not in 
your guide". I don't know much about the QID system you started to use, 
but shouldn't this get the german questnames on a gemran client?

What version of the addon are you using?  Where did you download from?
TomTom (2.4) r153
TourGuide (2.4) 2.4.2.26-Beta 
LightHeaded (2.4) r239 
all from http://www.wowinterface.com/

What version of WoW are you using?
Patch: 2.4.2
Locale: deDE (german)

Please provide any additional information below.
I play Horde.

QIDs simply allow detection of turnins regardless of the client's locale.  
Trying to
query the server for localized quest names would over complicate TG.  If you 
want
your guide localized for your language, you'll have to translate it.

Actually, on second consideration, wowhead is now in deDE, frFR and esES... it
wouldn't be hard to mine out the quest names.  Notes would still need to be
translated though.

Can you give me more detailed information on what (data in which files etc.) 
needs 
to be translated? I'll have a look at it. :-) I do not have much experience 
with 
TourGuide, as I just started using it, so I'll need a little help where to 
start. 
E.g. im not sure what notes you are talking about. :0)

The entire contents of the guides.  I can make a script to pull the quest names 
off
wowhead and substitute them, but everything else will have to be changed by 
hand.

I think having the questnames translated will be enough to get full 
functionality. 
With that done the quests should be recognized when talking to a questgiver and 
it 
should be much easier to use the existing guides (questNAMES will be translated 
there to, right?) with a german questlog.^^ Did I mention that on mouseover the 
detailed questdescription is already the german one pulled from the questlogs 
standard mouseover funktionality? So if you could get this done it would be 
awesome! :-) I could still have a look at the result and asist in further 
needed 
translation.

If you don't mind a dirty hack, you can use the attached patch for the current 
Alpha
version to implement the localization of quest names using tooltip scanning.

Keep in mind that this really is just a hack, since all the quest names are 
requested
at load time. After choosing a new guide, you might have to reload your 
interface for
the correct quest names to appear if they have not yet been in your quest cache.

I have not run into difficulties while this hack was active, but use it at your 
own
risk. Consider it an intermediate solution until Tekkub comes up with a better 
one :)

Heh, dirty hack indeed.  I do have a solution, it just requires some rewriting 
of my
wowhead scripts, so I've not buggered with it too much yet.

"Soon" !
