can´t find any problems with the messages, but im not familiar to your way of using timers, maybe something struggling with them?

no, the timers worked fine...

The way you name your entries in lang files look odd to me....But I'm really new too so I cann not say much! Does the rest of lang file work?

<Entry Name =“line1”>I better check it out.</Entry> and every other thing in the lang file:
” and “ can not be recognized, you have to use ".

The messages don't work because he's using special quotation marks for them. Those aren't considered valid quotation marks.
