GeoIP Language Selection

Every time a player joins your server, they are assigned a language that SourceMod will use for translations. SourceMod does this by using the same language that the player installed with Steam. There are two drawbacks to this method:

1. SourceMod can only support the same languages that Steam supports. It contains some languages that can't always be used on players (Latvian, Lithuanian, etc).
2. Many players install Steam using the default language (English) regardless of their understanding.

This plugin will automatically assign a language to a player based on which country they join from. It works with SourceMod's method, meaning that it only acts on players using the default language of Steam. If a player prefers another language, they are given that option as well.

Installation:

Extract the contents of the *.zip to your SourceMod directory.

Adding New Languages:

When adding a new language, it's important to use the English name of the language. You can find a list of language codes here. We will use Greek as an example.

Add the language to sourcemod/ configs/ languages.cfg:

"Languages"
{
	"en"		"English"
	"el"		"Greek"
}

Then you can begin translating as usual. All players from Greece will now be automatically using these translations.

Commands:

• !language - Display the language selection menu.
• !language <name> - Directly change your language.

Notes:

• You should use the latest GeoIP database with this plugin.
• This plugin supports automatic updates via Updater.
• Credit to thetwistedpanda & Leonardo as I borrowed some clientprefs/menu code from their plugins.
