LocalizedClassNames
From WoWWiki
This is a user-defined function that you can copy and paste into your addon. Replace <PREFIX> with your addon's prefix to avoid conflicts between different versions of these functions.
Provides a table of class names in the user's locale. Keys are in enUS, values in the current locale.
local locale = GetLocale()
-- Localized class names. Index == enUS, value == localized
local classnames = locale == "deDE" and {
["Warlock"] = "Hexenmeister",
["Warrior"] = "Krieger",
["Hunter"] = "Jäger",
["Mage"] = "Magier",
["Priest"] = "Priester",
["Druid"] = "Druide",
["Paladin"] = "Paladin",
["Shaman"] = "Schamane",
["Rogue"] = "Schurke",
} or locale == "frFR" and {
["Warlock"] = "D\195\169moniste",
["Warrior"] = "Guerrier",
["Hunter"] = "Chasseur",
["Mage"] = "Mage",
["Priest"] = "Pr\195\170tre",
["Druid"] = "Druide",
["Paladin"] = "Paladin",
["Shaman"] = "Chaman",
["Rogue"] = "Voleur",
} or {
["Warlock"] = "Warlock",
["Warrior"] = "Warrior",
["Hunter"] = "Hunter",
["Mage"] = "Mage",
["Priest"] = "Priest",
["Druid"] = "Druid",
["Paladin"] = "Paladin",
["Shaman"] = "Shaman",
["Rogue"] = "Rogue",
}
A reverse lookup table can also be created simply:
local reverseclassnames = {}
for i,v in pairs(classnames) do reverseclassnames[v] = i end
