This example outputs simpleWelcomemessage at the resource start (also when player joins the game if the resource is already running).

local msg = {cs = "Vítejte", fr = "Accueil", de = "Willkommen", pl = "Powitanie", hu = "Üdv"}

addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot,
  function ()
    local languageCode = getLocalization()["code"]
    if msg[languageCode] then --Check if the message is avaible in client's language
      outputChatBox(msg[languageCode] .. "!") --Output it
    else
      outputChatBox("Welcome!") --Output English for any other language
    end
  end)

client

This function is useful for fixing any scripts that were made before MTA 1.6 as some of the language codes were changed.

local languageCodes = {
  ['ar_SA'] = 'ar',
  ['bg_BG'] = 'bg',
  ['da_DK'] = 'da',
  ['de_DE'] = 'de',
  ['el_GR'] = 'el',
  ['es_ES'] = 'es',
  ['fr_FR'] = 'fr',
  ['hr_HR'] = 'hr',
  ['hu_HU'] = 'hu',
  ['id_ID'] = 'id',
  ['it_IT'] = 'it',
  ['lt_LT'] = 'lt',
  ['nb_NO'] = 'nb',
  ['nl_NL'] = 'nl',
  ['pl_PL'] = 'pl',
  ['pt_PT'] = 'pt_BR',
  ['ro_RO'] = 'ro',
  ['ru_RU'] = 'ru',
  ['sl_SL'] = 'sl',
  ['sv_SE'] = 'sv',
  ['tr_TR'] = 'tr',
  ['uk_UA'] = 'uk',
  ['vi_VN'] = 'vi',
}

function getLanguageCode(c)
  return languageCodes[c] or c
end
