+ 2.17.4), it's now possible to have the users web browser tell Bugzilla
+ which language templates to use for each visitor (using the HTTP_ACCEPT
+ header). For this to work, Bugzilla needs to have the correct language
+ templates installed for the version of Bugzilla you are using. Many
+ language templates can be obtained from <A
+HREF="http://www.bugzilla.org/download.html#localizations"
+TARGET="_top"
+>http://www.bugzilla.org/download.html#localizations</A
+>. Instructions

+ </P
+><P
+>After untarring the localizations (or creating your own) in the
+ <TT
+CLASS="filename"
+>[Bugzilla_Root]/template</TT
+> directory,
+ you must update the <TT
+CLASS="option"
+>languages</TT
+> parameter to contain any
+ localizations you'd like to permit. You may also wish to set the
+ <TT
+CLASS="option"
+>defaultlanguage</TT
+> parameter to something other than
+ <SPAN
+CLASS="QUOTE"
+>"en"</SPAN
+> if you don't want Engish to be the default language.

- times, the error messages complain that they are missing a file in
