Finding and Installing Languages
You can install as many languages as you like, but we recommend you only use accredited translations that have been fully tested. A bad language string or improperly encoded language file can take down an entire site. Visit the code repository on JoomlaCode at http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/jtranslation.

Installing Other Languages
It’s the same process whether you’re installing an admin language pack or a site language pack. To install a language pack:
Go to Extensions→Install/Uninstall and click the Choose File button to select a ZIP file.
Navigate to the language pack on your computer hard drive.
Click the Upload File & Install button.
You can install each individual language pack for the site or the admin, but we usually install both just in case. In the Language Manager (see Figure 14-2), we’ve installed two language packs for the frontend of our site—German and Slovak.
