# 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.

Even if you have the LanguageAPI, you can still use the "single file" system.

### "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](https://wiki-en.herrtechniker.eu/languageapi/get-started#multi).
