Drupal core translations

Drupal has been translated to many languages. You can download them from Drupal's translations portal.

These are translations for Drupal itself (not your contents). Using them will convert the administration pages to other languages.

Instructions for adding new translations

Download and install the Localization Client module. This is required for importing new or updated translations.

  1. Locate the language file you need. You can use the 'Search' box at the right hand side of the translations page.
  2. Download the language pack for your version of Drupal to your Drupal root directory.
  3. Extract the content of the zipped file.
  4. Go to the translate interface at admin/build/translate, select "Import" and then "Reimport packages". To do this step the Localization Client module needs to be installed and activated.
