As an Administrator, you can localise the SuiteCRM environment by installing new language packs or updating existing ones. This ensures your users can interact with the system in their preferred language.
SuiteCRM translations are community-driven. To ensure interface labels match your specific build, you must download the pack corresponding to your version.
Check your version in Admin > About.
Visit the SuiteCRM SourceForge Repository.
Select the folder for your version (e.g., v8.x or v7.x).
Download the required .zip file (e.g., es_ES.zip for Spanish).
Navigate to Admin > Module Loader.
Click Choose File and select your downloaded language .zip.
Click Upload.
Locate the package in the Uploaded Packages list and click Install.
Review the licence agreement and click Commit.
When a new version of a language pack is released, or when you upgrade SuiteCRM, you should update your translations to ensure all new features are correctly labelled.
Download the updated .zip file from SourceForge following the steps in the "Sourcing" section above.
Navigate to Admin > Module Loader.
Uninstall the old pack: Find the current language pack in the Installed list and click Uninstall.
Note: Choose the "Remove Files" option.
Upload and Install: Follow the standard installation steps to upload the new version of the .zip file.
Repair: It is highly recommended to run a Quick Repair and Rebuild immediately after an update.
After installation or update, ensure the language is active for use:
Go to Admin > System Settings.
Select the Languages sub-tab.
Move the desired language to the Enabled column.
Click Save.
