Installation
- Go to localize.drupal.org, sign in, search for your language, and click the "Join" button to give yourself access to post translations.
- In your site, go to the Configuration > Regional and Language > Languages > Sharing tab and enable sharing with localize.drupal.org by selecting the "Enable sharing translations with server" checkbox and saving the settings.

Enable automatic translation updates
The Localization update module helps you keep your interface translations for core and contributed modules up-to-date by grabbing them from the central Drupal translation repository (localize.drupal.org) or another Localization server. This means that you do not have to download and import translations manually. This module requires enabling the Locale (core) module. These are the steps to installing the module:
- Enable the Locale (core) module
- Download and enable the Localization update module
- Go to the configuration page at:
admin/build/translate/update(Drupal 6) oradmin/config/regional/translate/update(Drupal 7) - Wait patiently as the module looks for translation updates for you
- Click Update translations button
- Wait patiently as the module gets all your translations
- (optional, but recommended) Configure settings to get updates regularly via cron at:
admin/settings/language/update(Drupal 6) andadmin/config/regional/language/update(Drupal 7)
