Languages Macro

Ok, I have a specific use question regarding using character sheets to message different characters who speak multiple languages. I have character sheets for the dwarf in my game who speaks Dwarvish, Orcish, etc.. I put those sheets for the languages he speaks in his journal. Then I made this macro: /w ?{Language?|Dwarvish} ?{Say Something|"blah,blah"} /em @{selected|token_name} is babbling in ?{Language?} So, whoever has the "Dwarvish" character sheet in his journal can read the message, but the other characters just get the emote that the character is speaking in that language. My question is, will this macro work, even if the language character sheets are archived, or do they have to be visible in the player's journal? It's just easier from an organizational standpoint to have those character sheets out of sight, not cluttering up the player's journal. Does anyone know the answer to this?

I don't know for certain, but it seems like it would be easy enough to test it... =D
Yeah, I just didn't want to take up game time for something like that.

Just tried it Gozer. It still works if the language sheet is archived. :-)
Thanks Vince!

NP Gozer. Adding a language sheet was one of those things on my ToDo list. I'm not sure how often I would actually use it, but the fact that you can archive the sheet makes it non-intrusive. Have fun.
