Guide How to set up languages and add your own

WARNING!!! DEFAULT LANGUAGE SETTINGS ARE NO LONGER IN Config: gameserver/config/languages.xml

Two languages are set by default.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE list SYSTEM "languages.dtd">
<list>
    <language shortName="en" fullName="English" default="true"/>
    <language shortName="ru" fullName="Russian"/>
    <!-- Add new ones here, eg: <language shortName="es" fullName="Spanish"/> -->
    <!-- Add new ones here, eg: <language shortName="br" fullName="Brazilian"/> -->
</list>

English and Russian.
Now, as an example, we are adding Spanish.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE list SYSTEM "languages.dtd">
<list>
    <language shortName="en" fullName="English" default="true"/>
    <language shortName="ru" fullName="Russian"/>
    <language shortName="es" fullName="Spanish"/>
</list>

2) Next, we need to create a folder for dialogs in gameserver/data/ in our case, html-es, because the short name for the language is shortName="es", and place your content in it.

3) Next, we need to create the localization file gameserver/data/strings/strings_es.properties, since the short name for the language is shortName="es".

4) Now we need to add a chat command to change the language, specifically in gameserver/config/altsettings.properties, since the short name for the language is shortName="es".
Config:
AltCommandLang = en, ru, es

5) Next, you need to add language switching options to the gameserver\data\html-en\command\cfg.htm dialog. For example:

<tr>
<td width=140>Language:</td>
<td width=30>%lang%</td>
<td width=30><button width=30 height=15 back="L2UI_CH3.bigbutton2_down" fore="L2UI_CH3.bigbutton2" action="bypass -h user_cfg lang en" value="En"></td>
<td width=30><button width=30 height=15 back="L2UI_CH3.bigbutton2_down" fore="L2UI_CH3.bigbutton2" action="bypass -h user_cfg lang ru" value="Ru"></td>
<td width=30><button width=30 height=15 back="L2UI_CH3.bigbutton2_down" fore="L2UI_CH3.bigbutton2" action="bypass -h user_cfg lang es" value="Es"></td>
<td width=30></td>
</tr>

That's it! Congratulations, your language has been added!

you can add any language bg, au, ua, kr, cn. Just make the folder, add the command in configs, and put the correct translation in the new folder.

You can add ANY language and ANY number of them.

That would be a way to add your own language, not a translation, right?

Yes, everything is correct, not a translation. You can do the translation via Google Translate API, or via other APIs.

Hi, this instructions works with classic version? Because I followed all instructions I created br files but when I type .br nothing happens only working .ru and .en, I need change something in client side too?

Resolution:

My version is old without this new settings - Fixing to latest version.

Nothing needs to be added to the game client, everything that needs to be changed is written in the topic start!

It would be good if the gameserver/data/strings/ folder had a better organization, for example: gameserver/data/strings/en/common.pro..., gameserver/data/strings/en/auto_farm.pro..., etc. The translation file is too large and confusing.

everything is already divided inside.There is no point in splitting into files, it will only make searching more difficult

work inside it by using "Search" from notepadddd
