Please note: add language will add the language record, but not install the language packs. Those need to be installed in Manage Extension.

I thought it was a bug since we neve had to download it separately and the removal of languages is not mentioned in the changelog.

Here https://www.dnnsoftware.com/community/download/language-packs i see packs only up to 9.2, is it ok for 9.6 too?

Another question, will upgrading other portals from 9.4.4 to 9.6 affect the languages already installed and set as default?

sleupold commented 4 years ago

Language packs are currently updated by our various translators and will be offered for download, as soon as they are completed and verified. There should be a new app settings key UpdateServiceUrl in your web.config, pointing to https://dnnplatform.io Upgrading will not affect languages configured - but as well not update language packs automatically, You should check for new LPs on "Available Extensions" tab and install updates latest.

Thank you for the reply.

You should check for new LPs on "Available Extensions" tab and install updates latest

That was also part of the issue (n.4 under "current behavior"), there are no LPs on the available extensions tab, while i can see them in 9.4.4, that's one of the reasons why I thought it was ok to notify it here

DNN 9.6.0 looks at a different endpoint for the language packs, which had been transferred from DNN Corp. to DNN community recently. Not all LPs might be uploaded there atm.

Correct me if I am wrong here @mitchelsellers but I think this is now fixed and we at least have the latest maintained language pack distributed for the core supported languages right? I am closing the issue for that reason.
