Upload the files in the package to the same folder as SMF.

then, what to do next?

by package, you mean the unzipped folder of the compressed one?

put it in the folder where SMF is, you mean put it where the SMF index is?

thanks, it's just a little bit confusing. :-*

I meant, unzip the archive you download.  You should have a "Themes" directory from what you unzipped.  Upload that to the same place as index.php for the forum - you'll notice it has a "Themes" directory as well.

yes, there is a themes folder in the SMF, so, I need to upload the unzipped folder (from the downloaded archive) to SMF, which might overwrite some files in the original "Themes" folder (maybe not, because with different file name?)

I did as what I said above, so what shall i do to change the language???

thank you for your answer. ???

ivytony

done, ignore the stupid question. thanks

You don't have to install it.  Once uploaded, it is available and as installed as it needs to be.  Simply select the language in your Server Settings to make it the default.

Furthermore, had you uploaded it before installation, you would have been able to use the installer in Spanish as well.

I'm afraid that, as far as I know, there is currently no UBB.classic converter.  I think it was requested once, but I'm not sure.

I to am looking for the file help/index.spanish, for hxxp:spanish.zip [nonactive], or is it there, in the wrong path, I see something called Help.spanish.php?

I had no luck with the link  on http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=13775.msg234557#msg234557 to
hxxp:foro.cmh-ip.net/Themes/default/help/index.spanish.html [nonactive]

Please advise
Ben

I'm afraid that some of the languages, including Spanish, do not include translated help files yet.

I got the spanish help files ok
but are there any changes here in the new upgrade

[Unknown]

No language file related changes were made, unless I'm forgetting something.

After installing the package in English, now i want to convert it to Finnsh..
I downloaded the Themes folder in the same location as index.php.

Somebody has mentioned to change the server setting before. How do i do that ?

Please do let me know, i am very new to this software.

Thanks

If you have uploaded the files in the smf_1-0-3_finnish archive, you just have to go to Admin -> Server Settings and change the language.

on the Server Settings there is only one language and thats english.

Did you extract the files in the same folders then the english ones? Which language did you install?
