Removed but still doesn't work.

Need i to add in the meta.xml:

node = xmlLoadFile("hai.xml")

and yes you will need to add to your meta.xml (remember to type run the command 'refresh' to make server load the meta.xml changes)

That's not a valid xml file. All xml files must have a root node that contains every other node.

Oke,

Thus for example:

  
<language name="en"> 
    <text name="scrWelcom">Text in here</text> 
    <text name="scrWeapon">Weapon text in here</text> 
</language> 
  

Something like that?

And how to load in to lua (client script)

     Text in here    Weapon text in here

That's correct. If you want to read the file in client-side script the client has to download it first, therefore you have to include the file in the meta.xml ().
