Changing Firmware language

Vertex 3D Printer Vertex - Printer software (repetier, slicer, ...)

Hi there I want to change the language in the firmware to german.
When I try to change the language in the Marlin§ file nothing happens and the language will be still english. When I try to change the language in language.h
I get this erromassage:

The language.h file is missing the messages about the LED lighting in all languages but English.
If you want to use another language, you’ll have to edit the language.h file and copy the missing part from the English language (all the messages from “#define MSG_LOAD_FILAMENT” to “#define MSG_LED_OFF”) to yours. You’ll also have to translate them (warning : no more than 17 characters or the message will be truncated).

Hi

thank you very much, I will try it as soon as possible.

You’re welcome. I forgot to say : avoid using accented characters like ü, ä etc.
