# Adding localizations to an application

When working with the OS Install packages, you may encounter a package named “LanguageTranslations” (or “Languages.mpkg”) which contains a number of subpackages with names like “French.pkg”, “German.pkg”, etc. These packages do not contain all the files necessary for the applications contained inside them to run, but they can be used to add support for a language to an application. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Make sure that the application to which you want to add localizations is installed on your hard drive.
2. Find the language package for the localization you wish to install.
3. Find the application you wish to update inside the language package and install it as usual.
   - NOTE: Make sure to click “Update” when asked whether to update or replace the existing application. If you click “Replace”, you will cause the application to stop working.
