How do I add a language variable to a template?

How do I add a language variable to a template? I just want to add three words below the WoltLab copyright in the footer template.

woltlab.com/pluginstore/file/1494/

event: copyright
template: footer
environment: user

Or just modify the template called footer.

Or if you want to add it directly after WoltLab's copyright, edit the language item containing the copyright message and add your text after it.

Thanks for the reply @MysteryCode. I'm trying to add a simple link back to my forum in a style that I want to submit to the Plugin-Store. I can't just add plain text to the template because it's not allowed for some reason, and I have no idea how to do it any other way. Unfortunately none of the things you mentioned are an option.

Ahh okay. That's a different situation then.
The following is a part of my commercial plugins:

XML: package.xml

<instructions type="install">
		<instruction type="templateListener">xml/templateListener.xml</instruction>
		<instruction type="language">language/*.xml</instruction>
	</instructions>

XML: xml/templateListener.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<data xmlns="http://www.woltlab.com" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.woltlab.com http://www.woltlab.com/XSD/templatelistener.xsd">
	<import>
		<templatelistener name="copyright">
			<environment>user</environment>
			<templatename>footer</templatename>
			<eventname>copyright</eventname>
			<templatecode><![CDATA[<address class="copyright marginTop">{lang}mcps.index.copyright{/lang}</address>]]></templatecode>
		</templatelistener>
	</import>
</data>

mcps.index.copyright has to be replaces with your own language item and you should rename it for a unique identifier-string.
I don't know how good your coding skills are, but I need to sleep a bit. I got an important date in 5 hours, but if you have questions regarding the code, just ask.

I'm afraid they are not very good. I am assuming that I need to create a package.xml file with the code above, a folder named xml with a file in it named templateListener.xml with the code shown, and a languages folder with a en.xml file in it (with modified code). The package.xml file, the xml folder and the languages folder would then go in my package file along with the style? I have tried doing that and got the following error: Fatal error: Call to a member function getAttribute() on null in /home/xxxxxxxxx/public_html/wcf/lib/system/package/PackageArchive.class.php on line 170.
