MBSE BBS Setup - BBS Setup - Language Setup.

Language introduction.

You need to define at least one language, this is the default language. The paths to the BBS menus and Txtfiles for the default language must be exactly the same as defined in the global setup, menus 1.3.1 and 1.3.2
I did this so you can make your own local languages next to the default languages. If something is not present in your local language, the BBS will fall back to the default language. This is true for the menus and textfiles for the BBS. It is therefore wise to name all menus and textfiles the same for all languages used. When you setup the languages for the first time, entries for English, Dutch, Spanish, Galego, Italian and German languages are created.
