Language Files

By default, Skript has two core language files, default.lang and english.lang. The former is used for language entries that are not intended to be edited by the user, while the latter is for entries, such as error messages, that are safe to be translated into other languages.

For addons, these language files are typically stored in a lang directory in your project’s resources folder. Addons are not required to provide language files by default. Note that some features may require language entries, and if that is the case, the addon only has to provide a default.lang file.

Within a language file, it is only required that you include a version entry:

version: 1.0.0

Language entries are defined in a tree-like structure:

error messages:
    unknown error: An unknown error has occurred.

This entry would then be available under the key error messages.unknown error.
