getPersonalToolName(id, locale): string | null

Defined in: src/i18n/personal-tools.ts:41

Look up a suit tool's source-backed display name for a locale.

string

The library id PersonalTool.id carries, such as "arc-cutter". Matching ignores case and surrounding whitespace.

string

A BCP 47 language or regional tag, such as "de" or "de-DE"; see GameLocale for how a tag is matched.

string | null

The localized tool name; the canonical PersonalTool.name for any English tag; or null when the tool is unknown or the locale is not one of the six this catalogue stores.

All six stored locales are complete for this dataset, so a supported locale always answers. Frontier publishes no item symbol for a tool, so the library id is the only identifier this lookup takes — the same one getPersonalToolById takes.

A returned value can equal the English, because the game leaves some tool names untranslated. Such a value is the game's own, stored verbatim; the library never supplies an English fallback. This lookup bundles no tool stats.

If id is present and not a string, or locale is not a string. A nullish id is a lookup miss and returns null.
