Setting a Country Tag in Your FiveM Server
Introduction
FiveM servers can be displayed with different languages and country flags. This tutorial explains how to set the language and country flag for your server.
Configuration
The server's flag and language are configured using the Locales option in the server config.
Step 1 - Open Server Configuration File
- Access the server configuration file (
server.cfg) via the game server administration under Configs. - Alternatively, if you're using txAdmin, you can access it directly in TxAdmin.
Step 2 - Find Locale/Language Code for Your Country
The language/display is defined using locales (language codes/country codes) based on ISO 639-1 and ISO 3166-1 standards. For example, British English is en-GB, Spanish is es, and Canadian French is fr-CA. You can find the complete lists of language and country codes on the respective Wikipedia pages.
Below is a list of some relevant countries/languages:
Country | Language | Locale |
|---|---|---|
Germany | German | de_DE |
USA | English | en_US |
Canada | English | en_CA |
Australia | English | en_AU |
United Kingdom | English | en_GB |
Finland | Finnish | fi_FI |
France | French | fr_FR |
Netherlands | Dutch | nl_NL |
Portugal | Portuguese | pt_PT |
Brazil | Portuguese | pt_BR |
Spain | Spanish | es_ES |
Singapore | English | en_SG |
Step 3 - Adjust Server Configuration File
- Open the server configuration file (
server.cfg). - Check if the
sets localecommand exists. If not, add it with the desired value, for example:sets locale "en_US" - Replace
"en_US"with your desired language/locale code. - Save the changes.
Step 4 - Restart and Test Server
- Restart the server to apply the changes.
- Reload the server list in your FiveM client.
- You should now see the updated language and country flag.
Congratulations! You've successfully set the country tag for your FiveM server.
