Re: Set up localization on DNN v 4.5

login as superuser ("host")
go to "Languages" in "Host" menu
select "Install Language Package"
browse for the previously downloaded zip file on you local drive
select upload
if desired: enter site settings and change portal default language
if desired: enter your own profile and change your user language
if desired: go to "Languages" in "Admin" menu and disable default language

HTH

Cheers from Germany,

Yeah, thanks for that. I added the languages in the Host -> Languages, then, I created the language packs. I downloaded the language packs and then installed them. Now, I can see the language drop-down list on the corner. When I change the Language, I can see the time changed accordingly. What about the pages? How do I make the pages change the language accordingly. thanks

you shall not create a language pack, but download it (see language pack directory here on dotnetnuke.com) and install it.

Re: Set up localization on DNN v 4.5

thank you for pointing that out. I reinstalled the language packs and now, i can see all the DNN core items are displayed in the language that I select in the language selector list. Now, I have one more question, what about the pages?

Let's say I have the "Home" page in my site. I don't see the contents change the language when I change the language. And the title of the page "Home" is still in English. Can you point out the way out? thanks
