Confluence ships with a number of bundled language packs. These languages appear as options on the 'Language Configuration' screen in the Administration Console when choosing a default language and as 'Language' options for users in their user settings. You can make additional languages available for selection by installing language packs. Please note, you must be a Confluence administrator to install a language pack.

Language packs are plugins. The process of installing a language pack is the same as installing a new plugin.

Installing a Language Pack Manually

Plugins are distributed as JAR or OBR (OSGi Bundle Repository) files. To install a plugin:

  2. Choose Manage Add-ons.
  3. Choose Upload Plugin.
  4. Choose Browse to find the plugin file you wish to install from your hard drive and select it, or enter a network location by URL.
  5. Choose Upload.
    The plugin will be uploaded to Confluence and will be automatically installed.
  6. Check the list of user-installed plugins to ensure that the add-on is available.
  7. Enable the plugin if necessary. (Some plugins will be enabled by default when they are installed. Others will have to be manually enabled from the 'Manage Add-ons' page.)
