Internationalisation (i18n)

The bulk of this documentation has been moved to the section for the dedicated i18n framework. Kord Extensions will move to this framework soon, but most of the documentation present on that page still applies.

However, please take note of the following points, as Kord Extensions requires you to do some things a little differently:

• You should configure the framework using your bot's i18n settings, rather than the i18n framework's configuration guide.
• Because of how complex the class-path work is, you may find that custom formats defined in your plugins don't work correctly. If you're writing plugins for other users and developers, stick with the bundled formats.
• The KordEx Gradle plugin still handles translation bundle code generation. You should continue using this until we remove it from that plugin.

We've decided not to bring over the old guides we wrote that explained precisely how to use ICU Message Format v1, as this was out of scope of our documentation. Instead, consider looking at these guides, which are much better references:

• Message Format v1 Documentation
• Message Format v2 Translator Guide

ICU MFv2: Markup

Kord Extensions doesn't add any markup tags that ICU Message Format v2 can use, but we plan on looking into this later down the line.
