I wanted to use a translation for SugarCRM, which I found on the net (too old version). Did not work. I have tried to use the translation for SuiteCRM. A lot of errors. SpiceCRM needs a dedicated translations because of the many differences.

I make a translation for Polish, for my own needs. It will be publicly available. If someone will need it.

Any language pack compatible with Sugar CE 6.5.22 should work.

I have not found a Polish translation for this version of SugarCRM.  
That is why I have to do the translation myself.

Where has the file (in my case german language package) has to be copied so that is selectable and movable to enabled languages?

Thanks Karsten

Karsten, load and install your language zip file over administration \> module loader.  
Then open config.php file in your SpiceCRM instance  
Add ‘de\_DE’ =\> ‘Deutsch’, to languages array.

```
'languages' => 
  array (
    'en_us' => 'English (US)',
    'de_DE' => 'Deutsch',
  ),

```

If you want German to be the default language on login, modify ‘default\_language’ =\> ‘en\_us’, to  
’default\_language’ =\> ‘de\_DE’,
