Error when importing a new language

Set Drupal's temporary directory to "files/temp" from "admin/settings/file-system" . Also make sure that the "files/" directory is writable. Then retry importing the language.

Have you fixed your problem concerning the language files? I have the same kind of problem, and I don't use drupal 6.x for this reason... Somebody told me to modify my .htaccess files to fix it, but can't tell you wich parameters to use...

if fixed the problem by creating my own tempnam() function in file.inc like this
alternative function

<?php
/**
 * create a temp file alternative to tempnam() because this functions disabled for security reasons 
 */
function dru_tempnam($dir,$prefix){
	$name = $prefix.md5(time().rand());
	$handle = fopen($dir.'/'.$name, "w");
	fclose($handle);
	return $dir.'/'.$name;
}
?>

change function in file_save_data() function and change fopen to file_put_content

<?php
/**
 * Save a string to the specified destination.
 *
 * @param $data A string containing the contents of the file.
 * @param $dest A string containing the destination location.
 * @param $replace Replace behavior when the destination file already exists.
 *   - FILE_EXISTS_REPLACE - Replace the existing file
 *   - FILE_EXISTS_RENAME - Append _{incrementing number} until the filename is unique
 *   - FILE_EXISTS_ERROR - Do nothing and return FALSE.
 *
 * @return A string containing the resulting filename or 0 on error
 */
function file_save_data($data, $dest, $replace = FILE_EXISTS_RENAME) {
  $temp = file_directory_temp();
  // On Windows, tempnam() requires an absolute path, so we use realpath().
  $file = dru_tempnam(realpath($temp), 'file');
  if (!file_put_contents($file, $data)) {
    drupal_set_message(t('The file could not be created.'), 'error');
    return 0;
  }

  if (!file_move($file, $dest, $replace)) {
    return 0;
  }

  return $file;
}
?>
