# Language files

You can choose your preferred language in the [config.yml](https://animvanish.mikart.eu/config.yml#locale-str). The default language is `en-us` (English). The `messages-xx-xx.yml` is formatted using [MiniMessage](https://docs.advntr.dev/minimessage/index.html). 

### Help us translate the plugin!

To help us translate the plugin create a new file in the `common/src/main/resources/locales/` folder names xx-xx.yml. Name the file using the correct [ISO 639-1](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639_language_codes) locale code for your language and dialect.

#### Thing to remember

* **Don't** translate the MiniMessage keys (like `<red>`)
* Do not translate the locale keys themselves (e.g. `not_player`)
