Hi I am trying to make a package for Persian Language. I localize the modules which are in Install/Modules folder but there are some modules like Account Login, Banner,Feed explorer, Links, search Input,Search Result and User Account which Install by default and I should change their friendlyName and their description. Resourse files of them in Persin are packed with language-core pack. So I don't have any special problems about .resx files. I want to do this work during installation, not after that. Actually I can use a script for sql to change Friendlyname and description in Desktop Modules table after installation but there shoud be a better way. I chacked default website.template in Portals\_default folder to see what I can do but I couldn't find any solution. There should be a easy way that I don't know. Could anyone guid me? Regards Nafiseh

hello, I have not done this, but the first place I would begin is: Before installing DotNetNuke: Add your language installation zip file into the Install / language folder This will install the language pack when DotNetNuke installs You could then have a look at the default website.template in Portals\_default folder There is a setting in there: < defaultlanguage >en-US< / defaultlanguage > < portal version="5.0" > < description >DotNetNuke Community Edition < / description > < settings > < logofile >logo.gif< / logofile > < footertext >Copyright 2009 by DotNetNuke Corporation< / footertext > < userregistration >2< / userregistration > < banneradvertising >0< / banneradvertising > < defaultlanguage >en-US< / defaultlanguage > < timezoneoffset >-480< / timezoneoffset > < enableskinwidgets >true< / enableskinwidgets > < hostspace >0< / hostspace > < userquota >0< / userquota > < pagequota >0< / pagequota > < / settings >

Thanks mr Lee Sykes I had tested the ways u mentioned before I asked it. Actually, Language package don't change the friendly name of module to the specified language. On the other hand, in default website.template we can just change the default language. I need to show the persian name of module in module combobox on control panel. Actually I want to know where the installation files of modules that I mentiond in previous post reside. When I know this, it's probable that I can change .dnn file of those modules. Is there any other place which might help? Regards, Nafiseh

Hello, The installation files for DNN modules are in: Install / Module folder any of the files that are zip files are installed when DNN is installed any files that have been named as a resources file will be listed in the DotNetNuke Core modules that are available to install. The resources files are zip files that have just been named to resources, you can rename them to a zip file to auto install them when DNN installs.

Hi again For some modules like Documents, FAQs,Announcement ,.. which resided in Install/Modules folder I used the method you mentioned. with using .dnn file which reside in each module folder I could change friendly name of that module. But I'm talking about other modules which are not in Install/Modules path. I looked carefully again in this folder. I couldn't find these modules: Account Login,Banner,Feed explorer, search Input,Search Result and User Account These modules will reside in admin folder not in desktop modules .. I'm confused .. Am I right? Regards Nafiseh
