author's note: i have taken some time to write down the translated words and phrases from the warcraft wiki and sort them into a few categories, as well as interpreting some translations myself to use for my world of warcraft fanfiction. i will try to update this list every now and then. not all of this is canon. edit: apologies for all those who saw the unpolished version of this when tumblr chose to expose some of my drafts. xoxo
