User Language files in v9+
# help-with-umbraco

Hi there - in the older versions of Umbraco you could add overrides to some language keys in
/Config/Lang/da.user.xml
and keep them from getting overwritten by upgrades. The docs still reference this location and it does work locally, but when you deploy to Umbraco Cloud, the Config folder is never copied to the website, so there must be a new way to do this that has not been documented (or I couldn't find it). Do we need to add a dummy package with these files now, for this to work?

Pretty sure the
Config
folder is dead. But
/App_Plugins/YourPackage/Lang/da.user.xml
should still work I think (haven't used user language files for a while)

I was also of the assumption that is was dead - but as I said, it's still "the referenced way" in the docs, AND it did work in my local install... so the deadness (at least in v10.x on Cloud) is more because of said folder not being deployed, even if it's committed to the repo.

I don't know about Cloud, but with publish (or at least in our setup) it seems that you have to be quite specific that you want your files copied. Eg. I have this in a project:
Copy code
xml
  <ItemGroup>
    <Content Include="App_Plugins\ProjectName\**\*">
      <CopyToOutputDirectory>Always</CopyToOutputDirectory>
    </Content>
  </ItemGroup>
