Installing the required modules

The i18n module will allow your site to easily display content in multiple languages.

Extract the downloaded archive into ${DRUPAL_HOME}/sites/all/modules/ where ${DRUPAL_HOME} is your root of your Drupal 6 installation. After extracting the module, a new directory will be created:

  • ${DRUPAL_HOME}/sites/all/modules/i18n

Enable the multi-language modules

  • http://yourdomain.com/admin/build/modules
  • Administer > Site Building > Modules
  • Enable all the modules under "Multilanguage" and save the configuration. *
