Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

Guys,

I have to build up a 1.5 Joomla website in russian language. Did anybody did before? Are there any difficuilties? Is there need of any plugin etc?

Cheers

You have to download and install the language packs (Russian1.5-Translation-Packs) for both Admin and Site from http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/jtrans ... ge_id=2334. This gives you the ability to administer the site in Russian and to see the Joomla!'s informational and error messages in Russian.

The site http://joomlaportal.ru/ could be of help. Also, be informed that there is a Russian Forum (http://forum.joomla.org/viewforum.php?f=26) for you to ask questions in Russian should you want to go that way.

thanks imanickam BUT the admin panel needs to be in english cos I am the admin and I dont know russian
Only the articles should be in russian. Do I still need to install this language files?

If this is the case, you could just install the Site language file.

thank imanicknam
I will give it a shot!
