Notes

Only usable on variables that can be localized. See Data:HeroData.json, you will notice that hero_astro's "Lore" variable has the value "hero_astro_lore". This key is then sent to Module:Lang which checks for it in Data:Lang_en.json (or a different language).

As of writing this (not exhaustive), localizable variables include:

• Role
• WeaponDescription
• WeaponName
