Hello again everyone,

We have created a manual version of the language pack, and it can be downloaded from our Downloads page. See the "Other" entry under the Language Packs heading - you want the file lams-unix-language_pack-2006-12-22.tar.gz.

Please read through the instructions before attempting the update - it is a bit confusing the first time that you do it. Once you understand the steps, it is a bit fiddly but not difficult.

It is the same language files as the Windows Language Pack that we released just before Christmas and is basically a set of instructions to do what the Windows Language Pack does for you. So lots of copying of files and running a few sql updates.

It is designed for Unix and Linux, but as it is a manual process you should be able to use it on a Macintosh or on a Windows version of LAMS that has been built from the source.

If you are running Windows and used the LAMS Installer then stick to the Windows Language Pack as that is much easier.

Once we have LAMS installers for non-Windows platforms, we will probably do an automated language pack for the other platforms, but in the meantime we want you to be able to get the new language files without having to rebuild LAMS!

Again - thank you to Luke and Jun-Dir for putting this together.

Any problems/questions post here and we'll attempt to answer them.

Regards,

Fiona
