The one issue that is not mentioned is that both in joomla 1.6 and 1.7 the default menu item must be set to "all" languages for languages that don't have a defined homepage. That IS a small problem. Also I know some menu related language issues have been fixed with 1.7
As to the video - nice one, but if you intend on going that fast, please make sure not to leave out ANYTHING (such as - going to the language manager) - beginners to Joomla will get confused by the speed and lack of information.
PFFFFFT on those who talk about speed! This was exactly what I need.. not a 20 minute hand holding just a Q&D on how to get there - THANKYOU.. this rocks! Would love to hear you speaking french too with that good ol boy accent of yours too. Thank you for being fast and concise.. there's others that can do an effective 20 minute presentation - I needed the 5 minute kick start!
where do you get the language package from... the video said browse for the language installation file on your computer... where am I supposed to get the language installation file from?
@duyetthevo seems to work perfectly in joomla 1.7. Didn't surprise me it does, since 1.7 is only a minor change from 1.6 (in contrast to 1.6, which is a whole makeover from 1.5). In any case, all things shown here are just as valid for 1.7
Waste of your time and mine. Really. If you wanted to show off how speedy you are at using Joomla, congratulaions, you #win. Otherwise, as an actual how-to, this video is an epic #fail.
un poco mas lento por favor, hay partes del vídeo que no puedo ver debido a la velocidad con que es grabado, si es necesario pueden hacer dos o tres vídeos para este tema... gracias
How can you translate the 'Home' menu? If you try to select a language for it , it says:
Save failed with the following error: The Language parameter for this menu item must be set to 'All'. At least one Default menu item must have Language set to All, even if the site is multilingual.

I understand that you are extremely familiar with this. Well, not everybody is sleeping with Joomla under the pillow. I was looking for an easy tutorial for multi-language sites, starting from a comparison to v1.5.x+JoomFish vs. "how is this taskaccomplished in v1.6"
Instead of making a blink-of-an-eye video that confuses us, you could have done a set of more than one short videos, without all that Google-hocus-pocus, so that people actually have the time to process the info.
LOL.

ok, wow! *boom*
This was exactly what I needed, thanks, you rock!
BUT
HOLD YOUR HORSES! Don't you think you're going a tad fast here?
It's actually faster to watch a 10 min video once, rather than stopping, rewinding, get annoyed about YouTube's UI, and watch certain parts 3 times ;)
And to top that off, you're even clicking parts outside the recorded screen, so it involves a bit of guessing work.
My advice - slow down, and show it more in details, please :)
Also explain WHY you do things :)
