3. Step 1: Install the language packs

  1. Go to System → Install → Languages. Joomla loads the list of official translations from the Joomla update server.
  2. Search for your language, for example Greek, and click Install.
  3. Repeat for every language your site needs.
Joomla 6.2 System, Install, Languages screen with Greek el-GR version 6.2.0.1 and its Install button
System → Install → Languages, filtered for Greek.
Success message: Installation of the language pack was successful, and the button now says Reinstall
After installing, the button changes to Reinstall.

A language pack installs both the site and the administrator translation. Editors can then pick their own admin language in their user profile, which is handy for international teams.
