The former option "language" in the XML file also worked, when you install the plugin file is copied to /MySite/administrator/language/EN-GB/. But the problem is that the language constants are not read from /MySite/administrator/language/EN-GB/EN-GB.plg_hikashopshipping_myplugin.ini. By the way, exactly the same code in plugins hikashoppayment working fine!

Am I doing something not right or a multilanguage in hikashopshipping not supported?")* Hi, Both types of plugins are normal Joomla plugins and you can use translation files with them. If the translation file is not loaded, it's probably an error in the translation file breaking the parsing of the file. Turn on the "debug language" setting of the Joomla configuration page and try again. You'll see at the bottom of the page with the issue the list of language files and if there was an error in them and if yes, on which line. Make sure that your translation file has no errors.

Maybe you and brainforge didn't know about it and thus didn't set it ? If you don't, then it's up to you to load the translation file like brainforge does.
