installed language pack but...

Post by personneici »

I've uploaded the french language pack but the forum still won't convert over to french.

I go to admin panel.... board settings... but default language remains british english AND I can't change it. It doesn't see the uploaded language.

What am I missing?

For French to work, that /fr directory has to be there. It isn't.
You must have uploaded it to the wrong place.
