tech: installing Joomla! with Japanese support

Joomla! release downloads

Joomla! jp project

for the all-Japanese version of Joomla!: install Joomla_1_5_10_in_Japanese.zip (linked directly from the Joomla! jp project site)

alternatively, you can:

• install the regular standard Joomla!: Joomla_1.5.10-Stable-Full_Package.zip (from Joomla! release downloads)
• download japanese site and admin functionality:
  
  • ja-JP_Joomla_1.5.10_admin.zip
  • ja-JP_Joomla_1.5.10_site.zip
  • note, the above 2 zips are included in a single jar: ja-JP_Joomla_1.5.10.zip but the installation of that was not working for me...
• then install the 2 zips (from extensions menu)
• to update the module and plugin names, this sql will have to be executed:

- however, in this case, no more english plugin names + headings! You can't switch back and forth, basically
