5. Additional commands

  1. /settings language locale
  2. /settings hidestats hide

/settings language Set the localization of Avesbot

The localization will affect all responses send by avesbot. You can specify any locale in the form of language_REGION. Avesbot will use the best matching language automatically or defaults to english. You can also specify an unsupported locale, so you will automatically use the language when there is a translation added for your language in the future.
Examples:

/settings hidestats Shows or hides character stats in trials

This setting will hide or show the characters stats, so the other players can (not) see the strengths or weaknesses of the other charcters. Only the result of trials will be shown if this option is enabled. This setting applies to all channels of your Discord.
