A column marked as Loc is actually 17 columns with one column per language and a bitmask in the end.
There can be multiple languages filled in -- i.e. multi-language DBCs are possible.
Blizzard no longer uses multiple columns for Localization since Cataclysm. From there on, there just is one column with a string in the language given by the locale directory. This conserves space and prevents errors with missing locale data as present on a lot of modded servers, where a locale_i DBC is taken and edited, packed and distributed, therefore resulting in empty strings for all clients not using locale_i. In Cataclysm and up, there just will be wrong language strings.
Number of columns actually varies depending on client version. The information how to read a particular structure is given [here]
| Column | Field | |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | enUS / enGB | English / Great British |
| 1 | koKR | Korean |
| 2 | frFR | French |
| 3 | deDE | German |
| 4 | zhCN | Chinese |
| 5 | zhTW | Taiwan |
| 6 | esES | Spanish (Spain) |
| 7 | esMX | Spanish (Mexican) |
| 8 | ruRU | Russian |
| +16 | BitMask that always follows output string data. |
