I'm hoping to practice my Chinese playing WoW and it's pretty easy to turn on Chinese or any of the other languages WoW supports using their boot launcher program but ISBoxer seems to bypass that and I don't know how to set the game to play in a different language. Thanks for any comments.

Normally these settings are in config.wtf but ISBoxer makes separate character specific files in your WTF folder.

If you want to play on Chinese servers you need to change SET PORTAL "CN" in your character specific config.wtf - see https://isboxer.com/wiki/FAQ#How_do_I_c ... clients.3F

If you want only the client to be in Chinese then similar to the above but you need to change these two lines SET textLocale "zhCN" and SET audioLocale "zhCN".

I got it working - thanks for your help. Just as a sidenote I'm setting my 'main' client to Chinese, the slave client to English, and playing on an English server. I've been studying for a little over a week so this is challenging enough. I'm currently not using any scripts because I don't know any of the Chinese scripting commands. If anyone reading this happens to know of a resource please let me know. Thanks.
