Where do localization files go?

What are the valid paths for me to place an en_US.lang
file? I'd like to write my modpack in such a way that the quests can be translated, but the brief localization wiki page doesn't provide enough information to get me started.
I've converted my quest names to something like foopack.tier0.name
and use that when editing the book, but the en_US.lang
file that I've placed in a variety of folders never seems to get loaded. And the names in the quest line always appear as their bare translation keys rather than their translated strings.
I've placed my en_US.lang
file in:
- config/betterquesting/resources
- config/betterquesting/resources/lang
- config/betterquesting/foopack/resources/lang
Is there something I'm missing? Could the wiki page be expanded to include a trivial working example?
The wiki is over a year out of date but you almost got it. The file should be placed like so:
config/betterquesting/resources/foopack/lang/en_US.lang
You can think of anything placed after config/betterquesting/resources
behaves the same way as the assets
directory inside a resource pack. When I first wrote the wiki I figured once people knew how the resource directory behaved they could just use existing information on making resource packs or to make full use of it.
