Hi everyone. I'm wondering, how does it work? Sometimes, I was getting Russian messages instead of English for my region, as well, as other players. Then I had to delete it. Now, I translated some things, which I think should be in my language, and put it in the server configuration. However, it still writes English. I put the letters into the core.cfg file.

Anyway, that's not the point, I'd like to ask: how does the selection work? How it selects, which language should be used for the user? How could I make selected language be used for selected country, and English for countries, there's no language?

Steam assigns the cl_language cvar on the client according to the language set on the Steam configuration.

What if there is no language selected? And how can it be, that the language is set randomly? To Russian for example? Also, how will the SourceMod assign a custom language I make? Do I need to use some specific country letters (e.g. en, br...)?

There is always some language selected. It is set through the Steam client. If plugin prints something before server detects client's language (for instance, when player is connecting or has just connected) then it uses default server language that can be set in sourcemod/configs/core.cfg - "ServerLang" option.

You can set 'do not specify' in your profile.
Also... How come, that I get some English, some my language messages now? I put the files into translations/zm folder, let's say. And how will it be selected as my language?
P.S. I set the zm in the core.cfg too. I get my language messages only from custom plugins...
