No other language but English?

Background
This is my first install of Dropel and my first CiviCRM install.  I am a web designer very familiar with Joomla and some coding.  I've worked with a lot of software installs so I'm not a novice.

Problem
I can not get additional language choices to appear as choices in the Administer CiviCRM > Configure > Configuration Checklist > Localization

I have gone though all the steps at wiki.civicrm.org slash confluence slash display slash CRMDOC40 slash CiviCRM+Localisation many times and I see nothing wrong there.

I included the files where they were specified during the installation of CiviCRM.  But they didn't seem to "take".

The only thing that may be different is that I did my Drupal and CiviCRM install not on my domain root but in a sub-folder.  Could this be a problem?

Do I need to run the sql's to get the languages to work?

Your help and advice is greatly appreciated.

What is the full path to your CiviCRM files? And what is the full path to your l10n folder that you created as part of the CiviCRM Localisation procedure?

Your CiviCRM files should be in:

/root/myname/public_html/domain.com/petition/sites/all/modules/civicrm

and your l10n in

/root/myname/public_html/domain.com/petition/sites/all/modules/civicrm/l10n

Try that and see if it works.

First, I made a mistake with the directory I told you civicrm was in.  Your path is the one I have.  :-[

Second, by placing the language files in the folder you suggested, it now works!  Yippee  ;D

So, here is the problem I was having... the instructions do not say that...

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC40/CiviCRM+Localisation
Quote
3.  Copy this l10n directory, together with all its subdirectories into your CiviCRM codebase root directory. (note if creating the l10n folder manually it should be ell-ten-n, not capital-I-ten-n)
 - For Joomla this would be site_root/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm.  So if you wanted the en_GB language it would look like this site_root/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/l10n/en_GB/ - For Drupal this would be site_root/modules/civicrm.  So if you wanted the en_GB language it would look like this site_root/modules/civicrm/l10n/en_GB/

I hope you can see where I went wrong.

Thank you for the assist.  And maybe the writers of the wiki should be told of this?

My pleasure.

A wiki is a public document. Everyone is encouraged to help and fix issues like this. I fixed this one right now.

Thank you.
