If you'll recalled, we used the `setUnlocalizedName` method in both our `BlockBase` and `ItemBase` classes. The name that we passed into that method is what Minecraft uses when localizing the name of our block or item for the currently active language.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In these tutorials, we are only going to add English localizations however you can easily add more localizations by following the same pattern.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Language files are located at `src/main/resources/assets/tutorial/lang/IDENTIFIER.lang` where `IDENTIFIER` is the locale code of the language. Let's create a localization file with the identifier `en_US` (see [here](http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Language) for more locale codes).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Language files are written in a simple `key=value` format with one entry per line. The `value` is obviously the translated name, this obviously differs for every language file. The `key` is the key that Minecraft uses when translating things. This is slightly different for blocks and items. For blocks the key is `tile.UNLOCALIZED.name`. For items the key is `item.UNLOCALIZED.name`. Where `UNLOCALIZED` is what we passed into `setUnlocalizedName`.

**Note:** Lines starting with `#` are comments and won't be parsed.

```properties
|
||
|
|
# Items
|
||
|
|
item.ingot_copper.name=Copper Ingot
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
# Blocks
|
||
|
|
tile.ore_copper.name=Copper Ore
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Now, both our Copper Ore and Copper Ingot have properly localized names!
