Itemlink issue with [Dietrich] (lockpick)

So far I used the function mentioned here (http://www.esoui.com/forums/showthread.php?t=991) for all itemLinks I had to create, and this always worked perfectly fine.

But then there is this one exception. If the game runs in german [ /script SetCVar("language.2","de") ], the itemLink for lockpicks (de: Dietrich) does not work.
E.g. with this "cursorPickup"-event it can easily be reproduced:

Lua Code:

function pickupTest(type, param1, bagId, slotIndex, param4, param5, param6, itemSoundCategory)
    CHAT_SYSTEM:AddMessage(">>>"..zo_strformat(SI_TOOLTIP_ITEM_NAME, GetItemLink(bagId, slotIndex, LINK_STYLE_BRACKETS)))
end
EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent("MyPickupTester", EVENT_CURSOR_PICKUP, pickupTest)

The result then looks like this:

With "GetItemName(integer bagId, integer slotIndex)" the output is:
EN: Lockpick
DE: Dietrich^m|Dietriche^p
FR: crochet^m

Apparently, this german masculine/plural combination in the itemName does not really work with SI_TOOLTIP_ITEM_NAME.

Does anyone maybe have an idea how to resolve this? :/

I think this is a bug on ZOS side, here is workaround:

Lua Code:

local function GetFormatedItemLink(bagId, slotId, linkStyle)
   local link = GetItemLink(bagId, slotId, linkStyle)
   if link == "" then return end
 
   local name = zo_strformat(SI_TOOLTIP_ITEM_NAME, GetItemName(bagId, slotId))
   local data = link:match("|H.-:(.-)|h")
 
   if linkStyle == LINK_STYLE_BRACKETS then
      return ("|H%s:%s|h[%s]|h"):format(LINK_STYLE_BRACKETS, data, name)
   else
      return ("|H%s:%s|h%s|h"):format(LINK_STYLE_DEFAULT, data, name)
   end
end
 
function pickupTest(type, param1, bagId, slotIndex, param4, param5, param6, itemSoundCategory)
   CHAT_SYSTEM:AddMessage(">>>"..GetFormatedItemLink(bagId, slotIndex, LINK_STYLE_BRACKETS))
end
EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent("MyPickupTester", EVENT_CURSOR_PICKUP, pickupTest)

Yea, looks like ZO_Bug. "In Chat einfügen" doesn't work either.

For a long time after launch there was a bug that the Character Gender was shown at the end of the ChatName in german chat. i.e. "Leonida Peterson^f"
That was simply a bug in how the names were parsed (they actually always send [name]^[gender] across, but hide the suffix during display). I would just report it. They might be able to fix it eventually.

Works like a charm, thanks a lot!

It's definately a bug from ZOS side. If you try to destroy it the destroy popup will only show a text like "Do you want to ..."
The item's name and the following text is missing.
