# Messages Files

## Filesystems

### "Single File"-System

The "Single File" system consists of a file (messages.yml), where all possible languages are entered, which your network should support. Important is, if you don't have the [LanguageAPI](https://gitlab.herrtechniker.eu/HerrTechniker/gitbook-pluginwiki-en/-/blob/main/bungeesystem/messages-files/broken-reference/README.md), this system will be used automatically. In addition, the default language specified in config.yml must be contained in messages.yml.

{% hint style="info" %}
Even if you have the LanguageAPI, you can still use the "single file" system.
{% endhint %}

### "Multi File"-System

The "Multi File" system consists of several files. For each language there must be one file. How the syntax of the file must look like, you can find out [hier](/languageapi/get-started.md#multi).
