How to Import a Language Pack in PrestaShop 1.6
Language packs for all countries are not loaded into the PrestaShop installation by default. A language pack includes the symbols and alphabet of a language so that it may be displayed properly within PrestaShop. This allows you to be able to use a specific language for your shop. To load an unavailable language, use the Localization menu to get the language of your choice from PrestaShop.com. We will step through the process to download these files so that they are available in the Localization Settings of your PrestaShop 1.6 installation.
The video below explains the same items as the text tutorial below but in a video format within a sample PrestaShop 1.6 installation:
