Error messages on German client

[r-stiller]

Hello,

I wanted to use your Atlas addon but it doesn't work properly for me.
I am currently using the German WoW 1.12 client.

I've already tried to disable all my other addons (at login screen) and i've cleared the WTF folder before I started WoW.

Here are the error messages after login:

If i click on the Atlas button at the minimap the Atlas window opens but its all empty.
No dropdown lists or maps are filled.

Is there anything i can do?

Thanks

The "Only" thing you can do is switching to the english client, otherwise you need to hope for a fix from the author of the backport

[haodakei]

same here for the french client

I also stumbled across this problem yesterday.

It seems that some translations are missing in the backport. I created a vanilla server with https://github.com/cmangos/mangos-classic and then filled the locale tables with https://github.com/Xadras/GCMDB.

When activating Atlas I get error messages about missing Not-In-List values.

It seems to have nothing to do with the database, but with Atlas itself.

You can just add the missing translations and the errors disappear.

From wow_vanilla/Interface/AddOns/Atlas/Locale/Atlas-deDE.lua:

...
--Wailing Caverns
["Disciple of Naralex"] = "Jünger von Naralex";
["Mysterious Wailing Caverns Chest"] = "Mysteriöse Schließkassette"; // I added this line
["Lord Cobrahn <Fanglord>"] = "Lord Kobrahn <Giftzahnlord>";
...

You can just add the missing translations and the errors disappear.

If you don't want to translate the missing strings and don't mind atlas in English, you can use the English version of the corresponding locale file.

copy AddOns/Atlas/Locale/Atlas-enUS.lua to AddOns/Atlas/Locale/Atlas-yourLOCALE.lua

Then you have to enter your locale in the if-condition (first statement in the LUA-Script):

if ( GetLocale() == "enUS" or GetLocale() == "enGB" or GetLocale() == "deDE" ) then

Dirty, but it works with any language and it also works with AtlasLoot Enhanced.

you can always use https://github.com/laytya/Atlas - it have many locales.
