This is another JoomlArt Video Tutorial on multi-language options in Joomla! 1.7. This video will explain the basics on installing and setting up a multiple languages website.
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.
@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
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?
@lazarius74 - on speed
