Languages

The seven shipped languages, how a player's language is chosen, adding a language, and uxmLang.

Every player reads uxmAuth in their own language: the dialogs, the kicks, the replies and the mails. A player waiting at the dialog has not chosen yet, so they read their client's language.

Shipped

File	Language	Small capitals
`messages_en.conf`	English	yes
`messages_tr.conf`	Turkish	yes
`messages_de.conf`	German	yes
`messages_es.conf`	Spanish	yes
`messages_fr.conf`	French	yes
`messages_pt.conf`	Portuguese	yes
`messages_ru.conf`	Russian	no: Cyrillic has no small capitals

Every file carries every key. A key a translation lacks reads in language.default, then in the line built into the plugin.

Which language a player reads

The first that answers wins:

language.force in config.conf, when it names a language: everybody reads it.
The language the player chose with /uxmauth lang set.
The language their client is set to, when language.follow-client is true and a file exists for it.
language.default.

A broadcast reaches each player in their own language, so one [broadcast] line reaches the server in seven.

Adding a language

Copy messages_en.conf to messages_<tag>.conf, such as messages_it.conf or messages_pt-BR.conf, and translate the values. Keep every key and every value tag such as <name>. Run /uxmauth reload: the language exists, /uxmauth lang offers it, and a client set to it reads it. Nothing lists the languages; the files are the list.

To draw a Latin-alphabet language in small capitals, add it to small-caps in theme.conf.

Where a choice is kept

Server	The choice lives in
With uxmLang	uxmLang, shared by every UXM plugin and, on a network sharing uxmLang's database, by every server
Without uxmLang	`languages.conf` in this plugin's folder, for this plugin alone

Notes

Command words per language are set in commands.conf.
A language file that cannot be read is reported in the console at the start and on reload, and its players read the default.
