The plugin sends notifications on actions you have set up in plugin settings. The language for notifications is taken from user parameters, but if it is not set, then the default site language is used. Feel free to override language strings and make notifications more suitable to you. All notification e-mails have a standard format:
PLG_COMPETITION_NOTIFICATIONS_SUBJECT_* - the subject that depends on context;
PLG_COMPETITION_NOTIFICATIONS_BODY_HELLO - the hello message that comes before the main text and includes user name;
PLG_COMPETITION_NOTIFICATIONS_BODY_ACTION_* - the main text that depends on action and includes participant title and competition title;
PLG_COMPETITION_NOTIFICATIONS_BODY_POST_TEXT - the text that comes after the main text and includes site name.
