Hi guys

I'm trying to install the french installation pack...
But everytime I try, I get the following message:
Upload language - Upload Error
Failed to move uploaded file to /media directory.

I already installed the Dutch, Spanish and German ones...

What can be the problem..?
This is the one I'm trying...
Package Name:  Joomla_1.0.x-Stable-fr
Description: Dernière version stable de Joomla! entièrement traduite en français: assistant d'installation, interface publique et interface d'administration.

Also... for is there a Polish language pack for 1.0.8...?
I only find one for 1.0.1
I tried
Joomla_1.0.1_Polish_ISO-2.zip
Joomla_1.0.1_Polish_UTF-8.zip

I get this error:
Upload language - Upload Failed
ERROR: Could not find an XML setup file in the package.

Any ideas...please help...!

I must say, loving Joomla, still learning every day...but there is sooo much you can do with it..Joomla really conquered me...

Hope you guys can help me out...!!

Thanks in advance

Best regards

Miguel aka Dreadzone

Welcome on Joomla Forums!

French: the pack you get here is a full Joomla package:
http://forge.joomla.org/sf/frs/do/viewR ... table_fr01
not a language pack per se.

What you should do is unzip it on your box, then pick up the 3 following files:
french.ignore.php
french.php
french.xml

and ftp them to your language folder.

Same for Polish from here:
http://www.joomla.pl/index.php/componen ... fo/id,119/

Great... both working.. and now I know a bit more of how Joomla works => which files the language files are...

Thanks for the very quick reply and for the clean explanation...

I still have some small problems with the French, Polish and Spanish languages giving problems => showing strange characters...
But I will look through the forum and see if I can find a solution for it...(read, that there's been a solution provided before...)

Of course, if you can help me out of the blue, always more than welcome...

Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks! For the help...

And have a great weekend... I'm going to spend some time with the girlie as I'm the last 9 hours behind my computer...

Greetz

Miguel

The strange characters problems may be related to the encoding used vs your template.
French works with ISO-8559-1, but Polish requires other encoding, etc.
Normally, the encoding is stated in the language file.
If one edits these files, be sure to save with the right encoding.

Too long days at work kept me away from working at home on this...

Ok, I'm looking for some time now..
Here is a summary:
French uses: iso-8859-1
Polish: ISO-8859-2
Dutch: UTF-8
German: iso-8859-1
Spanish: iso-8859-1

My MySQL, don't know as I don't have access to it... long story, I asked for access but haven't received it yet, from a friend of mine...
I just have access to the /var/html section..

But the strange thing is...
I'm sure both are hosted on the same provider, so same setting and rules, not?
And for 2 different sites, both have all these languages installed, all from the same source files...

But the Spanish one gives problems on 1 site, and not on the other...  :-\

What should the overall language fill have as encoding and what should the db have..?

Aha, just received access to phpMyAdmin: charset is UTF8; MySQL connection UT8 General_ci
Changed the connection to Latin_generel_ci, didn't help...
I've put the UTF-8 instead of iso-8859-1, didn't help either...

So, please help :-))

If your database is utf-8, you may have to save each of the language files to utf-8 with an editor.
Do not forget to change the ISO code in the various files.

Reading through lots of stuff here..

I must save in UTF-8 the languaga pages, correct?
I did this for Spanish and French and Polish...
Didn't change anything... still same problem..

I'm using firefox and there is the sign set?? I've switched it to UTF-8
I also changed in the pages itself the charset to UTF-8...

Still no go.. do I need to change anything else...?

Thanks and sorry again,I think I'm missing something but don't know what...

PS: the connection to the db has been set to UTF-8...

1. Your template index.php should contain this code:
Code:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; <?php echo _ISO; ?>" />

This will automatically pick-up the encoding from the language files:
Code:
DEFINE('_ISO','charset=utf-8');


2. Firefox should be set to:
Character Encoding/Auto-detect/Universal

3. the db should be set at time of creation to:
MySQL charset : UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)
Connection collation: utf8_unicode_ci

template has the code in it...
the DEFINE is in , doesn't matter where in the document it stands does it..?

about firefox, I can't seem to find auto encoding, strange...

the db has the correct settings as well..

if I have in the spanish language file the UTF-8, I get a error saying output already been sent..
but I did it in the same way as the Polish and French one...
so I changed that one back to ISO...
and also it's still giving me strange symbols, in French, Spanish and Polish...

Ah, and which setting should be used for internet explorer, as I assume most users will use  :-\
