I added some new changes o my class to make the class work with eu.wowarmory.com using Spanish, French or German language, and English UK too.

First i use a new lang var

      /**
     * the language items get fetched
     * courtesy from flokohlert
     * @var de/en/fr/es
     */
        var $lang = "en";

then

new methods to choose the language

        /*
        *
        * setlang and getlang for multilanguage suport
        * en/de/es/fr/uk
        */
        function setlang($l) {
                switch($l)
                {
                        case 'de':
                                $this->lang = 'de';
                                $this->armory = 'http://eu.wowarmory.com/';
                        break;
                        case 'es':
                                $this->lang = 'es';
                                $this->armory = 'http://eu.wowarmory.com/';
                        break;

                        case 'fr':
                                $this->lang = 'fr';
                                $this->armory = 'http://eu.wowarmory.com/';
                        break;
                        case 'uk':
                                $this->lang = 'en';
                                $this->armory = 'http://eu.wowarmory.com/';
                        break;
                }

        }
/*
* GET LANG
*/
        function getlang(){
                return $this->lang;
        }

And the itemNameFetch

        function itemnameFetch($itemNAME){

                // Fix for the "-" Minux character
                $itemNAME = str_replace("-", "+ ",$itemNAME);
                if ($lang != 'en')
                {
                        // url encode and utf8 for öäëáéíãñ characters
                        $itemNAME = urlencode(utf8_encode($itemNAME));
                }
                $url = $this->armory."search.xml?searchQuery=".str_replace(" ", "+",$itemNAME)."&searchType=items";
                 //return $this->xmlToArray($this->xmlFetch($url));
                $item_ary = $this->xmlToArray($this->xmlFetch($url));
                $item_ary_value = $item_ary['armorysearch']['searchresults']['items']['item'];
                if (is_array($item_ary_value[0]))
                {
                        foreach($item_ary_value as $x_item)
                        {
                                if (isset($x_item['name']))
                                {
                                        if ($lang != 'en') //again decode the characters to check if item name exist
                                        {
                                           $x_item['name'] = utf8_decode($x_item['name']);
                                           $itemNAME = urldecode(utf8_decode($itemNAME));
                                        } //check if item name.
                                        if (strtoupper($x_item['name']) == strtoupper($itemNAME))
                                        $url = $this->armory."item-tooltip.xml?i=".$x_item['id'];
                                }
                        }
                }
                else
                        $url = $this->armory."item-tooltip.xml?i=".$item_ary_value['id'];

                return $this->xmlToArray($this->xmlFetch($url));

        }

for using the data
if ($armory->getlang() != 'en')
{
        $item['name']   = utf8_decode($item['name']);
}

with my mod for phbbb its working fine.
