Note: information in this document assumes you have the gettext library installed and activated on your web server.

1. Download a language pack from the concrete5 project in SourceForge. If you can't find your language there, it's still in the process of being translated. (Note: as of right now, we have not yet put any languages online. Check back soon or ask in the forums.)

2. Unpack the zipfile you downloaded in step 1, and drag it to the languages/ folder in your C5 site.

3. If this is a new site, open concrete/config/base.php, and change the lines:

if (!defined('LOCALE')) { define("LOCALE", 'en_US'); }

to

if (!defined('LOCALE')) { define("LOCALE", 'xx_XX'); }

where xxXX = the country/locale code for your particular language. (e.g. If you're translating your site into German, and the code of your download was deDE, change enUS to deDE.

1. If this is an existing site, instead of editing concrete/config/base.php, edit config/site.php, and add the line:

define("LOCALE", 'xx_XX');

1. This should apply your language file to your C5 site.
