In brief, to create a language pack, you should do the following:
1 Obtain the default – en-US – language pack sources.
2 Translate the source files content to a required language.
3 Compile your resulting files to a new language pack.
Refer to the following sub-sections for the detailed information on performing each of
the steps.

Obtaining Default LP
There are two ways to obtain default Plesk LP source files:
1. Taking the files downloaded with this Localization Kit (current version of Plesk)
2. Taking LP source files from a particular Plesk instance for which you want to
create an LP
To take the LP sources from a Plesk instance:
1 Upload the std_lp.tar.gz archive downloaded with this
Localization Kit to the server where the required version of Plesk is
installed, and unpack the archive.
2 Run the get_orig_locale utility with power user privileges.
For example, when logged in as root:
[root@localhost std]# ./get_orig_locale.sh
The utility creates directory orig_locale.en-US/ in your current directory, and
copies the default LP's sources from Plesk directories to it.
