When we
originally
released the portal source code back in March it only contained the English display strings. We have now added the resource files for all the other 20 languages to the download package now. The build/deployment guide also has an updated set of instructions on how to change display strings in non-English languages.
The download page says that the release is only for a specific list of languages, but the reality is that without a lot of extra effort I couldn’t build installers in some of the languages.
All
of the packages regardless of which language it is for contains
all
of the resources files for
all
of the languages. So – if you don’t see a download package for the language you want don’t worry, just download one of the installers (let’s say English since chances are you probably understand English well enough to go through the installer dialogs since you are reading this blog). The only difference between the different download packages is the display language of the installer and the language of the license agreement.
Here is the download location for the English installer:
