One thing.. all I see on the China board are question marks ( ??,?? ?,?? ). How can I fix this?

On the arabic board... writing starts from the left but they type on the right so how can i fix this for them?

Also.. how can the forum be seen in their language?

1- Its something related to your operating system.
If you are using Windows, open your control panel and open regional settings to add chinese language support. Then you will see correct phrases insteadt of ?? ?? ??
2- I dont get that :-\
3- You should install more languages. So then they can select which language to use from their profile.

Ok I'll try to fix the language.

Don't worry about the Arabic question anymore.

I have tried installing more languages, but I keep on getting the following:

An Error Has Occurred!
The package you tried to upload either is not a valid package or has become corrupted.

I'm using version 1.1 RC2 by the way. What should I do to get the language files to work?

Languages are not installed by package manager.
You should extract its contents to:
/Themes/default/languages

Use an FTP client to upload the files.

I have one question, do I need to upload the folder or do I need to upload the files seperately? Thank you!

Elmacik

Uploading the folder completely is better. Because there are also images in language packages.

Thank you! Do I do anything else then besides re CHMOD it? Or do I even need to? (Forgive me, complete newbie here.)

I uploaded several folders to the default/languages folder  Each time ftp told me that I had an error. I went to my profile to see if I could change my language and I see nothing to be able to change it. I did check the box to allow users to choose their language.

I set up a test account at www.karl-urban.com/tesfolder3

password demo.

What was the error you got while you were trying to upload the files?
