Installing Drupal with a Translation
Video by Addison BerryFebruary 22, 2008 - 9:15pm
One of Drupal 6's nice new features allows you to install Drupal using a language other than English. This video will show you how to get a translation, extract it and run the installer with the new language. We will cover the extraction process using three methods (GUI unzip utility, command line and CPanel) because it is important to make sure it extracts properly for the installer to see it.
The video assumes you are already familiar with the basic installation process and only covers the translation part.
Important Note for the geekier people out there - DO NOT USE CVS. A CVS checkout of a translation will not work because the correct structure for the files is created during the tarball packaging process. I learned this the hard way. :-)
- There are other videos that show more of the multi-language features of Drupal 6. The packaging of installation translations has changed a bit since the end of January 2008 so I wanted to cover the new process for just this part.

Darnit
Ugh, it worked fine for me last night. I tested it out before I published it but apparently something wonky happened. Should be fixed up now.
MP4...
Well, for whatever reason, I can't play this file, not even with VLC.
I wish I had a Mac...
What OS?
I can play it fine with both Totem and VLC on Ubuntu.
Also Ubuntu
I'm also on Ubuntu 7.10...
Hmm
Well I know that at some point I also installed a couple codecs for gstreamer (I believe when I first tried to use Totem to open some format it prompted me to go get the codecs I needed.) So I don't know if those are helping VLC work too. Do you have an ffmpeg codec/plugin?
Linux
I have both FFMPEG and all the applicable plugins for GStreamer. I can watch all kinds of other formats - .mov, DivX, etc.
So probably it's just my computer that's hosed somehow. If I was willing to spend a couple of hours messing around, I'd probably be ably to find out why. Linux in a nutshell. :(

Really??
Why add the video in a format that a lot of people can't play?
The Internationalization page on Drupal references this page for how to install translations. Can we get a different version? YouTube embed? Something else?
Please? Thanks.
Yeah, download is broken
And playing Quicktime in the browser doesn't work for me.
Video Ipod Not Working....
I downloaded the latest video podcast and it won't play on my ipod.... At least thats what I tunes is telling me. Any Ideas?
Thanks
Drupal with Yahoo Hosting
Just wanted to know if it is possible to use Drupal with Yahoo hosting services? If yes, what are the pros n cons and requirements for a successful install?
Thanks!!
Don't know Yahoo Hosting
I am not familiar with Yahoo hosting so I can't say if you can or what pros and cons would be. You need to check to see if it meets the system requirements for Drupal.
I think pros n cons of
I think pros n cons of installing on yahoo are them same as for installing elsewhere
Could you please explain me
Could you please explain me the meaning of 'CVS'
Version control
CVS is the version control system that the Drupal project uses to store and track all of the code (for both core and contributions.) You can read more about Drupal's use of CVS in the handbook: http://drupal.org/handbook/cvs.
Lovely voice
I love to listen to the tutorial, lovely voice... :)

Does anyone know what 'Finder' add-on she's using on her Mac?
Hello everybody,
I liked the video, but I also liked the 'add-on' for the Mac Os X finder she seems to be using on her computer. Anyone know what kind of plug-in/add-on/tool this is?
Best regards,
Peter

If you would use the command line, it would be easier and there wouldn't be any stupid weird behaviour like directories created or whatever mac junks...

Thanks
Thanks for posting this. Would be great if someone were able to put an alternative video up on youtube though - i also had problems with this format.
Really....Mp4?
Why not post it in something that is easy to play. Embed video maybe?
Video changes
Yeah, we aren't a big fan either. We're currently working on an upgrade for the site and changing how we do video is a big thing on the list (we are migrating away from the legacy of video module). I was actually working on this very task this morning. Definitely moving to embedded.
thanks alot
thanks alot
I just think that it is cool
I just think that it is cool that we can install in our own languages finally. Thanks for the files.
