Cannnot install my Dutch Language pack

Post by Tostie »

I cannot install my language pack.

Instructions on installation of a Language
Installation

To install a language pack simply decompress the downloaded package into the language/ directory. Then go to your Administration Control Panel and select Language packs from under the System tab. On that page, install the appropriate uploaded package.
There is no install option under the systems tab. Any Idea how to get this fixed ?

Just upgraded from 3.06 to 3.07PL1. Had a default 3.06 installation before with english language.

You should unzip the package you downloaded and only upload the folder with the name "nl" into the folder "language" that already exists. Did you do that? :)

Hi,

Please tell us the content of your nl or nl_x_formal directory.

acp, email, mods directories and PHP files, like captcha_qa.php?

Or another nl or nl_x_formal directory (or another directory name)?

Remember when decompressing the packages that you must retain the directory structure. If you are unsure how to do this with your software, please check its documentation. Failure to retain the directory structure will result in the language or localised button images not being available.

Best regards,

of course I copied the files in the language folder.

I tried doing it with both dutch versions :

nl and nl_x_formal

Both have these files/folders :
FOLDERS
acp
email
mods
nl_x_formal has a extra folder named : docs

FILES
captcha_qa.php
captcha_recaptcha.php
common.php
groups.php
help_bbcode.php
help_faq.php
index.htm
install.php
iso.txt
mcp.php
memberlist.php
posting.php
search.php
search_ignore_words.php
search_synonyms.php
ucp.php
viewforum.php
viewtopic.php

COPYING only is there in the nl

Okay, that sounds good.

And you have no dutch language pack to install on the Language packs menu from under the System tab on the Administration Control Panel? It's weird.
