    },
    "en": {
        "name": "lang.en"
    },
    "ru": {
        "name": "lang.ru"
    },
    "ua": {
        "name": "lang.ua"
    }
}
```

```json
"pl": {
    "name": "lang.pl"
}
```

```json
"languages": {
    "ch": {
        "name": "lang.ch"
    },
    "en": {
        "name": "lang.en"
    },
    "ru": {
        "name": "lang.ru"
    },
    "ua": {
        "name": "lang.ua"
    },
    "pl": {
        "name": "lang.pl"
    }
}
```
