Language files live in plugins/hChat/lang/. The plugin ships lang_en.yml and supports any number of additional files.

Change the server language

Set general.lang in config.yml:
Then run /hchat reload.

Per-player language

Each player can override their own language with:
Player choices are stored in plugins/hChat/storage/player-lang.yml. At runtime, messages are looked up in the per-player file first and fall back to the server-wide lang setting when the key is missing.

Add a new language

  1. Copy lang_en.yml to lang_fr.yml.
  2. Translate the values.
  3. Run /hchat reload.
  4. Players can switch with /hchat lang fr.

Formatting modes
