Thanks as well, I now can provide extra language packages for my component without having to zip (and xml) them into the entire install.xml.
I had to try quite a bit to get that running for a module and thought, my solution might help others to avoid searching and trying:
Since the module does not have any files for <administration> I thought, it's good enough just to delete this section, but
DONT!
When there is no language file for administration, you need to keep an empty node for it in the install.xml! Like:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<install version="1.5" client="both" type="language" method="upgrade">
<name>mod_opensim_friends english</name>
<tag>en-GB</tag>
<version>0.1.7</version>

<description>English translation for mod_opensim_friends Site and Admin (Joomla! 1.5.x)</description>
<administration />
<site>
<files folder="site">
<filename>en-GB.mod_opensim_friends.ini</filename>
</files>
</site>
<params />
</install>
The
<administration /> is the important line for it. Otherwise you get errors like:
Code:
PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function getElementByPath() on a non-object in /some.joomla.path/libraries/joomla/installer/adapters/language.php on line 70
I hope this helps one or the other
