LibXSpellID

By Dr. Doom

This library is for public domain use.

Usage: This library has a list of spell ID's to assist in localization from English using GetSpellInfo() (see http://www.wowwiki.com/API_GetSpellInfo)

Include LibXSpellID in your .toc file.
Obtain spell ID's for spells in the following manner:
MyLocalizedSpellName=GetSpellInfo(XSpellDB.ID["Inner Fire"]);

If you no longer need the data, you can clean it up by using LibXSpellID.Cleanup() (this frees up about 2.5 mb of memory)

No this addon is completely useless. If you only have the English name then you fucking look it up on WoWDB, the spell id is in the url.

The change in 2.4 didn't make it quite so obsolete. That localization fix works all fine and dandy if you have the spell ID, but what if all you have is the enUS spell name?
The use for this mod is pretty niche-market, I'll agree. But I wouldn't say it is completely unnecessary.

the author didn't discontinue babble-spell, patch 2.4 obsoleted it.

This is basically to replace Babble-Spell, since the author discontinued it.

The purpose of this library is to convert English spells into other language localizations, without knowing the spell ID off the bat. Of course spell names aren't guaranteed to be unique, but the beauty of localizations is that if you get the wrong spell with the same name, it will still translate to the name you want. I use this in an addon of mine, and I don't imagine I'm the only one doing what I do the way that I need to be doing it.

Is this library really necessary? Also, spell names aren't guaranteed to be unique.
