Language packs

Moodle1.6

Location: Administration > Language > Language packs

• From Moodle 1.6 onwards, additional language packs may be selected from the list in the right pane and installed directly
• Language packs are stored in moodledata/lang

Parent language packs

Certain language packs contain only the modified language strings from their parent language, rather than a complete set. Thus, it is necessary to install the parent language pack too. These language packs are:

• de_du (which requires de)
• es_mx and es_ar (which require es)
• fr-ca (which requires fr)

Manual language pack installation

Language packs may also be installed manually by downloading the zip file from Moodle Downloads - Language Packs to a directory called lang in your moodledata directory and then unzipping.
