Confluence ships with a number of bundled language packs. These languages appear as options on the 'Language Configuration' screen in the Administration Console when choosing a default language and as 'Language' options for users in their user settings. You can make additional languages available for selection by installing language packs. Please note, you must be a Confluence administrator to install a language pack.

Language packs are plugins. The process of installing a language pack is the same as installing a new plugin.

Installing a Language Pack using the Plugin Manager

To install a language pack using the plugin manager:

  1. Click 'Plugins' in the Confluence Administration Console.
  2. Click 'Install'.
  3. Locate the language pack and install it via the plugin manager interface.

Installing a Language Pack Manually

To install a language pack manually, you will need to upload the language pack plugin as described below. The language pack plugin will be enabled by default once you have installed it.

Plugins are distributed as a jar file. To install a plugin:
  1. In the 'Administration' section of Confluence, click Plugins.
  2. Use Browse to find the plugin jar you wish to install from your hard drive or network location, and select it.
  3. Click Upload.
  4. The plugin will be uploaded to Confluence and will be automatically installed.
  5. Check the 'Plugin Administration' screen to ensure that the plugin is available.
  6. Enable the plugin if necessary. (Some plugins will be enabled by default when they are installed. Others will have to be manually enabled from the 'Plugin Administration' screen.)
