# Languages & Update Checker

## 9 bundled languages

English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese and Chinese ship out of the box under `plugins/XPlayerEXP/lang/`. Pick one with `lang.default` in `config.yml` — see [Installation & Setup](/home/xplayerexp/getting-started/getting-started.md#language) for how editing and versioning works.

Every message goes through the same [hex + legacy color formatter](/home/xplayerexp/features/integrations.md#hex-colors-everywhere), so a translated file can restyle colors too, not just text.

## Update checker

```yaml
update-checker:
  enabled: true
  check-interval-hours: 6
  notify-permission: "xplayerexp.admin.update-notify"
```

On startup, and again every `check-interval-hours`, the plugin asks GitHub for XPlayerEXP's latest release. If it's newer than the version currently running:

* It's logged once to console.
* Every online player holding `notify-permission` is messaged immediately.
* Any player holding that permission who joins afterward (while that result is still the latest known one) is messaged too — so staff don't have to be online at the exact moment a check runs to find out.

The message includes the new version number and a link to the GitHub release — nothing is ever downloaded or installed automatically. Set `enabled: false` to turn the whole thing off.

{% hint style="info" %}
`notify-permission` isn't declared in `plugin.yml`, so — like every other permission node in this plugin — it defaults to **server operators only** unless your permissions plugin grants it explicitly. See [Permissions](/home/xplayerexp/reference/permissions.md).
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.xandtech.fr/home/xplayerexp/features/languages-and-updates.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
