Languages can be exported and imported as language packs. To import a language you must download a language pack from olat.org or create one using the export mechanism explained later. Currently all available languages are bundles with OLAT, in the future we plan to make languages available for download from our server.

To import a language pack, go to Administration > System configuration > Languages > Language administration and press the Import languages packages button. Select a language pack from your hard drive and start the upload.

Note that languages are imported as language packs on a standard installation. Language packs can not be edited after import, they are read-only. Language packs are not unpacked, they are stored in your olatdata directory and are added as jar archives when starting up OLAT.

When the server is configured as a translation server, the import will extract the language pack and add the language files to your brasato and application source path. You can then use the translation tool to work with the language. During this import you can choose which detected languages from the language pack are actually imported.
