Language support

[nisutec]

Hello,
Is it possible to change the messages from the plugin to another language. Our Mattermost server uses for example the German language but the plugin writes all messages only in English. Is it possible to change the language of the plugin in a language file or has this plugin multi language support.

Jitsi can be used as an example on how to handle localization.

@larkox Hi, it seems like I don't have the bandwidth at the moment to pick this. Please un-assign me from this. Apologies.
