3.1.3 QuickFinder Languages

You will have end-user search templates in all supported languages, but the QuickFinder Manager UI and both the admin and end-user help systems will only be available in English and the initially selected languages.

To install the additional language pack files, simply extract the contents of the QFindXX.zip files into the /QFSearch directory when QuickFinder is installed.

NOTE:The language pack files are located in the \Products\QFSearch directory on the install CD and are also available from the QuickFinder product page.
