Write macros in one language, game client in another

[Lazorbeam-dentarg]

Hello,

This is quite niche but I want to have my game language and audio in one language, but have my macros written in another. I want my game in Spanish but be able to write my macros in English. This is just for educational purposes. I have hundreds of macros split across all of my characters already written in English, big pain to rewrite them all.

Can anyone tell me if this is possible or not?

Thank you.

AFAIK they need to be written in the language of the game client.

You could open your macro-cache.txt files in a robust text editor like Notepad++ and global replace the spells to the correct languages though.

There was an addon (in 2016) that was able to translate all your macros…but it’s not up to date. I can’t understand — WHY — Blizzard has never solved this issue, it’s a big issue. The simplest way is to give the chance to use spell numbers or item numbers instead of names…but no. A big shame.
