# Languages

This page lists the languages that are installed and when they were last updated through this interface. If you update a language via CLI or add a language pack directly to your server, the updated date will not be correct.

You can choose to install new languages by selecting them from the drop-down menu. The translation available for your version of Mahara is automatically selected.

As translations are maintained by the community, not all languages will be fully translated. You are welcome to join the translation team to correct phrases and translate those for which there is no translation yet.

When updates have been made to a translation in Launchpad, it usually takes up to 24 hours for the changes to be present in a language's 'language pack'. Refer to our language pack site.

If a translation cannot be installed, you will see an error message. Please remove the language manually from your server in the location mentioned in the error message.

If the installation of a language fails without an error message, this may be due to cached information. Please clear the cache at 'Administration menu → Admin home → Overview' and try again.

If you want to delete a language, please do so directly on the server. You cannot remove a language from this interface.
