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

CAUTION: Most countries generally support displaying the server flag. However, not all resources include every language. So, check beforehand if your country/language is supported!.

Step 3 - Adjust Server Configuration File

Open the server configuration file (server.cfg).
Check if the sets locale command 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.
