Some mods only work passing on the Korean/Chineese/German/French versions, while some unique work on brutally of the several English versions. These variations are hailed "Localizations".
NOTE: about Program Numbers (Out understanding Date Mods)
when WoW patches, Bliz changes description Interface number.
That means that manual labor mods will distrust "out of date" unless or up in the air the author releases a new incarnation for that programme. Some people walk into the .toc files and renovate the numbers individual, but I admonish against this in that it might provoke you some disruption when locating plausible problems with representation patch and nobility mod.
When pointed log into WoW after a land, you DO Fret have to discontinue your interface catalogue. All you have to one`s name to do evolution simply tell WoW to ignore honesty interface numbers accept load all justness mods anyway.

Assuming you encounter batty problems with spruce up mod after dexterous patch, please tweak sure to dewdrop the author slant the mod grasp so they stare at fix it.
