+ 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 <ulink
+ url="http://www.bugzilla.org/download.html#localizations"/>. Instructions
+ for submitting new languages are also available from that location.

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