# Basics

On first install, nightcore based plugins will generate default config files and extract premade translations into /lang/ directory.

Also, nightcore will try to download lang assets for your system language into /nightcore/lang/ directory:

Files with messages_ prefix contains translations for plugin's messages. Some of nightcore messages are shared with nightcore plugins.
Files with assets_ prefix contains translations for in-game objects, such as blocks, items. They are used in a lot of nightcore plugins.

If you need to update your assets files, delete them from the /lang/ directory or download them manually.

If you have console warn saying Could not download language assets for, then there is no assets for your language or there is some issues with your internet connection.

You can download them manually from Github

# Setup Language

Check out the /lang/ directory for available translations.
Set desired translation code to the Plugin.Language field in the config.yml.

If you want to create a new translation, it's recommended to duplicate the original messages_en.yml lang file instead of translated ones.

Translation code is file name without messages_ prefix and .yml extension.

messages_en.yml = Plugin.Language: en
messages_de.yml = Plugin.Language: de
messages_zh_cn.yml = Plugin.Language: zh_cn

If you have console warn saying Locale file for ... language not found, then there is no translation for your language or you didn't set it in the Plugin.Language field.
