Hi. How can I show translated text keys (like "#Bomb_Planted", etc.) in HUD messages? So instead of "#Bomb_Planted" players will see "The bomb has been planted!"

You would use TextMsg to do that. I implemented the following code based on regamedll source, refer to for more examples. Make sure you to not pass a string with length greater than 190 characters, otherwise the server will probably crash.

enum
{
	HUD_PRINTNOTIFY = 1,
	HUD_PRINTCONSOLE,
	HUD_PRINTTALK,
	HUD_PRINTCENTER,
	HUD_PRINTRADIO
}

new gmsgTextMsg

...

public plugin_init()
{
	gmsgTextMsg = get_user_msgid("TextMsg")
}

...

// Print to everyone
UTIL_ClientPrintAll(msg_dest, msg_name[], param1[]="", param2[]="", param3[]="", param4[]="")
{
	message_begin(MSG_ALL, gmsgTextMsg)
	write_string(msg_name)
	if (param1[0])
		write_string(param1)
	if (param2[0])
		write_string(param2)
	if (param3[0])
		write_string(param3)
	if (param4[0])
		write_string(param4)
	message_end()
}

// Print to single client
UTIL_ClientPrint(client, msg_dest, msg_name[], param1[]="", param2[]="", param3[]="", param4[]="")
{
	message_begin(MSG_ONE, gmsgTextMsg, _, client)
	write_string(msg_name)
	if (param1[0])
		write_string(param1)
	if (param2[0])
		write_string(param2)
	if (param3[0])
		write_string(param3)
	if (param4[0])
		write_string(param4)
	message_end()
}

// Usage
UTIL_ClientPrintAll(HUD_PRINTCENTER, "#Bomb_Defused")

tysm for this useful snippet i will steal it, but i wanted a bit different (maybe I asked the question incorrectly). Is it possible to show that texts with hud_showmessage?
