Introduction

RedM game servers can be displayed in various languages. This applies both to the server flag shown in the server browser and the language actively used on the server. The language can be adjusted if needed. This gives you the option to select your language and country flag for your server.

Configuration

The configuration of the server flag and language is done via the Locales option. The Locales configuration is managed through the server config. This is defined by the value of the sets locale command. By default, English is set as the language and Antarctica as the location (flag).

Open the Server Configuration File

You can open the server configuration file server.cfg in the txAdmin interface under CFG Editor.

Find the Locale/Language Code for Your Language

The language/display is defined via Locales (language codes/country codes) based on the ISO 639-1/ISO 3166-1 standards. We have compiled a small list of the most relevant countries/languages for you. The actual list is, of course, much larger:

Warning

The display of the server flag is generally supported by all available countries. However, not all resources include all languages. Please make sure your country/language is supported in advance!

Adjust the Content of the Server Configuration File

After opening the configuration file and finding the locale/language code, you can make the configuration. First, check if the sets locale command already exists. If not, the entry looks like this:

Code
# A valid locale identifier for your server's main language.
# For example "en-US", "fr-CA", "nl-NL", "de-DE", "en-GB", "pt-BR"
sets locale "root-AQ" 
# please REPLACE root-AQ in the LINE ABOVE with a real language! :)

The value of the sets locale command is set to root-AQ by default. This must now be changed. For example, if you want to use the USA flag and English as the language, you would enter en-US here. Then save the change.
