//===== rAthena Script ======================================= 
//= Sample: Localized NPC
//===== By: ================================================== 
//= rAthena Dev Team
//===== Last Updated: ========================================
//= 20140208
//===== Description: ========================================= 
//= Example of a localized NPC.
//= 
//= There are many ways to do it, this is just one option.
//= The player has a global account variable ##_langid_ that 
//= identifies the it's language.
//= 
//= The default language should always have langid 0.
//= When a message isn't found for the player's langid 
//= (strlen = 0), the message from langid 0 is used instead.
//= 
//= Each message is identified by a string that must only 
//= contain valid variable name characters.
//= 
//= void setlang(int langid)
//= - sets the player's language
//= int getlang(void)
//= - returns the player's language
//= void setmes2(string name,int langid,string text)
//= - sets the localized text for name
//= string getmes2(string name,int langid)
//= - returns the localized text of name
//= void mes2(string name)
//= - displays the localized text of name
//= 
//===== Additional Comments: ================================= 
//= To use this globally, just put the functions in Global_Functions.txt
