You need to extract it from patch-*, instead of locale-*. They are overwritten. You need to extract and modify the latest version.

Believe me, there has to be one. If WoW claims that the number of columns is wrong, you always have extracted the wrong version.

Open all the mpqs in merged mode and the highest priority one will be loaded and you can extract it then.
