Discussion
Need input on how a user can request & acquire additional language packs.
Movable Type supports multiple languages through the use of language packs. A language pack is simply a list of translated phrases and words for use by the Movable Type system.
To install a language pack that you've downloaded from the Movable Type web site, follow these steps:
- 1. Copy the translated phrases.
The .pm file contains the plain-text list of translated phrases. Place this file into your extlib/MT/L10N/ directory in ASCII mode. If this directory structure does not exist, create it.
- 2. Copy the images.
The folder named lang-language_tag, where language_tag is the tag for the language you downloaded, contains the images needed by the system. Upload this folder, in BINARY mode, into the images folder that you uploaded when you installed Movable Type.
