Hey guys, is it possible to add Chinese Profiler support as China is one of the biggest
markets for wow in the world and me as a brit working over here and playing Chinese wow
now for around 4 years I would like my Chinese character to be able to work on the Chinese
profiler. I would think this would also be massively used too as more and more Chinese
would would then have the urge for you guys to have at least some chinese additions over
here. Its also not fair too, you have the Americas and Europe but no Asian options.
Please can this be added or at least thought about. We are living in an age where being
fair and not racist to individuals is the right thing to go about.
Thanks

Does China have an armory using the same API as the US/EU one?

Are you saying that its racist for there to be options for US/EU profiler but not one for Asian realms?
Heh, I would think it has a deeper reason for not being able to work. Something like Izichial said. There is something with the Asian characters that won't work properly with the Wowhead profiler. Could be something like it doesn't work well with those characters, the writing not the actual toons.

Googling "chinese warcraft armory api" doesn't yield any results hinting at that, and neither do "korean" and "taiwan", so I'm guessing it's that.
Even wowprogress.com only seems to have rudimentary support for tw and kr regions, guilds and characters are there, but apparently with less details. The zh region isn't mentioned at all.

Nathanyel posting after Nathanyal, confusing. But yeah, you'd think people would look up the basics of their plight before throwing around accusations of racism.
Here's another:

China stands for 0.53% of unique visits to Wowhead. If you're asking for localization and such... it'd make more sense to translate the site into Finnish.

I am assuming the OP didn't really realize fully that racism had such horrible implications, because we're definitely not racist here and it makes me sad to think people would think that because we didn't offer a feature we were!
Anyway, we're not really interested in expanding the profiler at this time for any users--you'll notice a lot of suggestions for it are declined. This is because it isn't used an incredible amount and is prone to breaking; it's mostly in retirement mode where all the features it has are all it will ever have and we will only fix it should it have a bug or major issue.
Additionally, Blizzard has very little foreign support for the profiler and making a Chinese profiler would be a huge effort that might not even be possible. Hope this clears it up :)

Hey guys, im not saying your racist ... lol come on. What I meant was being fair in the respect that having
every country that could use wow except asian countries was not at all fair! When I said about "We are living in an age where being fair and not racist to individuals is the right thing to go about" I didnt meant it litrually being racist, the words were just out of context pointing out the society we live in now a days.
Really, sorry if some of you thought that.
Anyway, Chinese WoW as its called over here does have its own armory which you can find here:
http://www.battlenet.com.cn/wow/zh/
(putting the name in the white box in the top right corner searches
for the player you want to view) for example my main is 暗害 and this is my main here:
http://www.battlenet.com.cn/wow/zh/character/
主宰之剑/暗害/simple
Now also above as you can see, Chinese characters work fine on wowhead.
I am merely pointing out that being fair to the asian people who do use wowhead too is the right thing
to do yeah? Thanks guys, and sorry for the confusion.
Ashelia I am specially sorry to you, you have always helped me in the past and been so nice, so im sorry that
it sounded that way, really I didnt mean what it looked like :(
