click the "new language" button and fill in the required information

ok so where do i get the information from to fill it out

Like what directory and where do i get the image from

You also need to make sure to copy all the admin and catalog language files:

/includes/languages/NEWLANGUAGE.php
/includes/languages/NEWLANGUAGE/.php
/includes/languages/NEWLANGUAGE/icons/icon.gif
/admin/includes/languages/NEWLANGUAGE.php
/admin/includes/languages/NEWLANGUAGE/.php

and the one I always forget about:

/email/NEWLANGUAGE_CODE/.

Why the email sub-directory uses a different form than all the other sub-directories is a mystery to me!

In the admin settings,
Name ... is what gets displayed to the admin/store user
code .... is used for the email sub-directory
image .. is the name of the image in /includes/languages/NEWLANGUAGE/images
Directory ... is the name of the main language file and the associated sub-directory (NEWLANGUAGE)

Good luck!

You can also download the language packs from the downloads section.

I'm guessing you haven't copied over your custom template files to the new language.

i.e. ( includes/languages/NEW_LANGUAGE/YOUR_TEMPLATE )

At least two of your add-ons (language files) are missing in both the indonesian and italian languages.

The login sidebox and the ceon manual card sidebox
