Hi,

    I planned to create a language pack for DotnetNuke and for that i downloaded a full language pack and traslated the whole commands and tried to upload zipped resource folder. Then i got a file missing error like this

and  at the end an error message like this:

StartJob	Importing language files
Info	Import file: GlobalResources.tr-TR.resx
Failure	There was an error loading a Language Pack resource file. Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

So I tried with another reaadymade language pack. I downloaded, unzipped and again zipped the folder and tried to install it. Still the same error( file missing). ( It was working fine with the originla resource file). Is it problem with zipping ang unzipping or is or was it the problem with my DotnetNuke. I have used the install folder to install DotnetNuke. I am using the DonetNuke Version 04.08. Can you find a solution......??? and Thanks in advance..

Thanks Sebastian for taking time to look into my post and Can i make my point a bit more clear ... I want to create a new language pack for Malayalam Language(Kerala,India). So can you please say whether i went through the right way. It was like this;

1.  Clicked on language editor, Selected the local resource files with the available locale set to "English" and mode to "System"

2.  Updated each page after translating them. Went to language main page.

3. After that i selected the resource file verifier. But still it had only one Locale:  English (United States) (en-US)

4. I continued by clicking on the  create language pack in the main page and and i got a creaet language pack page with resource locale as English, resource type as  

    Full and Resource Pack Name as ResourcePack.Full.<version>.<locale>.<zip>. and i clicked create.

5. There i got a link to "Download ResourcePack.Full.04.08.00.en-US.zip" and i downloaded the language pack.

6. I was not able to find an option to set the langauge pack's display name. So I unzipped the file and made changes to the

    manifest.xml ( changed the display name and changed .resx to .ml-IN.resx)  and zipped the resource pack again.

7. Now when i try to install the above resource file. I got the above posted  error.

Can you point me where I went wrong???

Thanks,
