hi, i just download the file: es-ES_joomla_lang_full_2.5.6v1 which is the language pack spanish for joomla 2.5, and when i try to install it in the Extension Manager: Install, i get this error/advice/warning: "Unable to open archive", is the same than the kunena language pack, with this one i get this error: "Package Install: There were no files to install!" and also "Error installing package."

Hi, i just check in my server and it´s PHP 5.2, this is the system info from joomla control panel:

PHP Built On Linux n166s3p0 3.4.7-SE #7 SMP Sat Aug 11 06:39:52 GMT 2012 x86_64
Database Version 5.1.50-log
Database Collation utf8_general_ci
PHP Version 5.2.17
Web Server Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.8.22 OpenSSL/0.9.7d SE/0.5.3.4
WebServer to PHP Interface cgi-fcgi
Joomla! Version Joomla! 2.5.6 Stable [ Ember ] 19-June-2012 14:00 GMT
Joomla! Platform Version Joomla Platform 11.4.0 Stable [ Brian Kernighan ] 03-Jan-2012 00:00 GMT
User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:14.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/14.0.1 AlexaToolbar/alxf-2.15

i´ve download this file: http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/jtrans ... ge_id=5597 , but each time i try to upload and install it with the extencion manager it shows a: "Unable to open archive message." so i don´t know what to do, what i really want is to translate kunena forum to spanish. i´ve already installed the spanish language pack but then the option to change the language does not appears anywhere, i´ve hear somewhere in a forum i think (i´ve been all around the web to fix this problem) that i have to change first the languaje of my joomla 2.5.xx, any help will be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Can you check the permissions of your tmp folder?

Looks like this is a server issue and in no way a language issue.
