Adding a language pack to your WoltLab Suite installation can help make your community multilingual. Here’s a detailed guide on how to install a language pack:
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Log in to the Admin Area: Log in to your WoltLab Suite backend with your administrator credentials.
- Navigate to Customization - Languages: Go to Customization and then Languages in the admin menu. Here, you will see a list of all installed languages.
- Verify Existing Languages: Ensure that the language for which you want to install the language pack exists. If it doesn’t, you will need to add this language first.
- Import Language: Click on the Import Language button at the top right. A dialog box will open where you can upload the language file from your local PC. The file must be in XML format.
- Upload Language File: Select the appropriate XML language file from your computer and upload it. Make sure you choose the correct file that matches your target language.
- Select Template and Package:
- Template: Choose the language you are importing. This is important to ensure the new language variables are correctly mapped and do not overwrite other languages.
- Package: Select the package for which you are installing the language pack. This can be main packages like WoltLab Suite Core or specific plugins.
- Complete Import: Click Submit to start the import process. After the import is complete, the language pack will be installed, and the new language will be available in your forum.
Important Notes
- Multiple Language Packs for Plugins: If you use plugins, make sure you also install the corresponding language packs for these plugins. This might need to be done separately to ensure full localization.
- Use a Test Environment: It’s helpful to use a test environment first to install all language packs and ensure they work correctly before implementing them in your live environment.
- Check for Updates: After installing new language packs, regularly check for updates to ensure that all new features and changes are available in the new language.
