looking at the English language file, im assuming you’re following the wrong format.

So it would seem Skript uses the english.lang that's in its resources directory in the plugin/jar rather than the one that users can see and edit. That's my hunch as I changed the english.lang within the server directory to Smurfy and the one within the plugin to SmurfyTest

and as you can see, SmurfyTest is used

Further proved as manually changing the version node within english.lang in the server directory to 2.9.5
The class Language.java should be updating the lang file as the versions dont match, however it does not get updated.

No I am on the right track

i think you need to edit default.lang

i think you need to edit default.lang

How?

i think you need to edit default.lang

How?

you can open the Skript jar with a zip tool and edit it inside the lang folder

you can open the Skript jar with a zip tool and edit it inside the lang folder

Please don't, the default.lang isn't even what should be getting edited, it would be the english.lang.
Also I highly advise not editing the files within the plugin itself, because it will just be overwritten from the next Skript release.

The bug here is that Skript doesn't use the lang files within the server's directory as it should, and only uses the lang files within its own resources directory from the plugin.
