[1.9.4+] Loading external language files

[Mitchellbrine]

Back in the 1.7 days and prior (a long time ago, I know), there used to be a way to load an external lang file, with its map of translations, into the game.

 

For example, I would have a file in the config folder that would be labeled and (just for clarity to the end user) given the extension .lang.

 

Using the line

LanguageRegistry.instance().loadLocalization(file.toURI().toURL(),"en_US",false);

// I understand that it's a sloppy line, but you get the gist of the use of the loadLocalization function

I could load a file of translations into the en_US language in the game.

 

Is there a contemporary equivalent that I could use in order to achieve the same result? If not, how would I go about doing this? Would I need to create a new ResourcePack and load that in?

 

Thanks in advance!

Nothing is wrong with making a resource pack. I was just wondering what the 1.9 equivalent of the LanguageRegistry.instance().loadLocalization is. If it's resource packs, awesome, I'll get on that!
