The easiest place to put it is to put it before the <anchor>. You will need to modify the green highlighted variables to adjust the box around it.
There are 4 per row, currently.
That means the width of each is 17.4h/4= 4.35h.
Therefore, if you want it 5 wide, set it to 5*4.35h = 21.8h (round to nearest tenth).

<panel x="-26.8h" y="-2.8h" width="17.4h" height="6.6h" align="right" valign="bottom" color="invisible" visible="true">
         <frame texture="/ui/frames/tooltip_bg.tga" color="0 0 0 .8" borderthickness=".6h" align="left" valign="top" noclick="1"/>
        <frame texture="/ui/frames/roundframe.tga" color="#A0A0A0" borderthickness=".6h" noclick="1"/>    
        <panel width="-1.0h" height="-1.0h" align="center" valign="center" float="right" padding="0.8h">
             <instance name="language" code="en" texture="/ui/elements/flag_uk.tga" tooltip="English"/>
            <instance name="language" code="fr" texture="/ui/elements/flag_france.tga" tooltip="Français (French)"/>
            <instance name="language" code="es" texture="/ui/elements/flag_spain.tga" tooltip="Español (Spanish)"/>
            <instance name="language" code="de" texture="/ui/elements/flag_germany.tga" tooltip="Deutsch (German)"/>
            <anchor x="0" y="3.1h"/> <!-- This separates the two lines. 3.1h is how far down the divider is. If you want to make a third line, make a new <anchor> and set its y position to 6.2h. You would also have to edit the green and teal variables so the box is the right size and is in the right position.  -->
            <instance name="language" code="ru" texture="/ui/elements/flag_russia.tga" tooltip="Russkiy yazyk (Russian)"/>
            <instance name="language" code="br" texture="/ui/elements/flag_brazil.tga" tooltip="Português (Portuguese)"/>
            <instance name="language" code="zh" texture="/ui/elements/flag_china.tga" tooltip="Chinese (coming soon...)" disabled="true" rendermode="grayscale"/>
            <instance name="language" code="ko" texture="/ui/elements/flag_korea.tga" tooltip="Korean (coming soon...)" disabled="true" rendermode="grayscale"/>
            <!-- <instance name="language" code="pi" texture="/ui/elements/flag_pirate.tga" tooltip="ARR! (Pirate)"/>-->

Look the flag:

[[S2]IAmRoot]

are you sure the dimensions are right?

[NiGHTsC]

I think the problem is the original flags are using DDS which has all images upside down, that's why you see the white bar on the top of flag.

Just make the same upside down 128x128 but a PNG image and have that white bar being transparent

But...

Try to open an existing flag just paste yours over it. Worked for me.

it seems some flag will be over shrank, especially the ones with symbols, look my flag.

I cant.. I have tried Everything... Can anyone sent me the Greek flag ready?? thx
BTW Dimensions:
<panel width="-1.0h" height="-1.0h" align="center" valign="center" float="right" padding="0.8h">

I'm trying to test my translations, and I can get them to show up in game, but while some Croatian letters are shown ( š ) some are not ( ć ) and are just ommited. I figured its the font (game.ttf) and changed core_hr.resource to be like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<resourcelist>
    <fontface file="/core/fonts/calibri.ttf">
        <fontmap name="dyn_6" size="6" dynamic_fontsize="true" baseresolution="768" axis="y" />
        <fontmap name="dyn_7" size="7" dynamic_fontsize="true" baseresolution="768" axis="y" />        
        <fontmap name="dyn_8" size="8" dynamic_fontsize="true" baseresolution="768" axis="y" />
        <fontmap name="dyn_9" size="9" dynamic_fontsize="true" baseresolution="768" axis="y" />
        <fontmap name="dyn_10" size="10" dynamic_fontsize="true" baseresolution="768" axis="y" />
        <fontmap name="dyn_11" size="11" dynamic_fontsize="true" baseresolution="768" axis="y" />
        <fontmap name="dyn_12" size="12" dynamic_fontsize="true" baseresolution="768" axis="y" />
        <fontmap name="dyn_14" size="14" dynamic_fontsize="true" baseresolution="768" axis="y" />
        <fontmap name="dyn_16" size="16" dynamic_fontsize="true" baseresolution="768" axis="y" />
    </fontface>

    <fontface file="/core/fonts/system.ttf">
        <fontmap name="system_small" size="10" />
        <fontmap name="system_medium" size="12" language="latin"/>
        <fontmap name="system_large" size="22" language="latin"/>
    </fontface>

    <fontface file="/core/fonts/calibri.ttf">
        <fontmap name="littletextpopup" size="16" dynamic_fontsize="true" baseresolution="768" axis="y" />
    </fontface>
    
    <cursor name="cursor" file="/core/cursors/arrow.cursor" />

    <texture name="alphagrad" file="$alphagrad" />
    <texture name="logo" file="/textures/logo.tga" />
    <texture name="console_background" file="/core/textures/console_blank.tga" />
</resourcelist>

Calibri contains Croatian characters, I've checked. Doesn't work. I've tried placing Calibri user folder under Heroes of Newerth\game\core\fonts (just in case it won't use system fonts for some reason). No luck. I can still get it to show up, but again, font is same, and it ommits some characters. Also, it doesn't load mouse properly, and things that aren't translated yet are just blank, nothing written.

Then again, if i just put default core_hr.resource without font change, everything works well again except for omitted characters. Is there something special about fonts that can be used, which Calibri doesn't meet?

I just started With a Danish translation for the fun of it. so far i translated 50 lines though i need to look back at some of them.

im using C++ but the entities_en.str and interface_en.str look really weird there? should i just make my translation look like them or are there any ideas on what to do?

[[S2]IAmRoot]

Weird in what way?
