How to export language packs from a backup? | Forum

I have an .zip with all my former site's public_html files, and unfortunately that site is not running anymore. So where could I find the path for the language packs and zip them and use them for my new site?


Thanks.

are you talking about the lang packs just for the core site or for plugins as well?

Frank, 


imported languages are stored in ow_pluingfiles/base/ folder in lang_NUMBER.php files


but you can't just transfer them to your new site, otherwise you will have errors like this: 


OW Debug - WarningMessage:include(): Failed opening '/home/ow_pluginfiles/base/lang_2.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php')File:ow_system_plugins/base/bol/language_service.phpLine:1228


you should have exported them beforehand

You could set up a temporary site, export them and then delete the site i think...

Thanks! But actually I figured out a way to export them as a back up file!

I just literally searched "language" in my back up file and I found a folder with all the languages in it. Then I packed them and upload them to my new site. I have no idea how but it works perfectly!
