    \n\n 
    LexLife team. 
    </buyMemo> 
</text>

The code where i want it to load:

  
addEventHandler( "onClientResourceStart", g_this_root,  
    function( theResource ) 
        if theResource == getThisResource() then  
            local x, y = guiGetScreenSize()

            Node = xmlLoadFile("client\\text\\vehicle_order_text.xml") 
             
            MemoText = xmlNodeGetAttribute(Node, "memo") 
            buyMemoText = xmlNodeGetAttribute(Node, "buyMemo") 
             
            xmlUnloadFile(Node) 
             
            vehTab2.Memo = guiCreateMemo(0.27, 0.05, 0.70, 0.80, MemoText, true, vehTab2.Tab) 
            vehTab2.buyMemo = guiCreateMemo(0.27, 0.05, 0.70, 0.80, buyMemoText, true, vehTab2.Tab) 
                         
            guiSetVisible(vehTab2.buyMemo, false) 
             
            addEventHandler( "onClientGUIClick", vehTab2.buyCarbtn,  
                function() 
                    if source == vehTab2.buyCarbtn then 
                        guiSetVisible(vehTab2.Memo, false) 
                        guiSetVisible(vehTab2.buyMemo, true) 
                    end 
                end 
            )            
            showCursor(false) 
            guiSetVisible(vehicleWindow, false) 
             
            unbindKey("f1", "down") 
            unbindKey("f2", "down") 
            bindKey("f1", "down", showUi) 
            bindKey("f2", "down", hideUi)            
        end 
    end

I hope someone will help me out.

or you could split both them into seperate xml's and use this for each xml (or if you are feeling more adventurous, get lua to split them up from the same xml )

node = xmlLoadFile("hai.xml") 
nodetext = xmlNodeGetValue(node)

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)

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 ().

Use xmlLoadFile and xmlFindSubNode.
