In other words, I had downloaded the English language pack, because the language of the website for downloading language packs was in English and I thought (for some bizarre reason, even though I knew this wasn&#8217;t true) that the English download had all of the other languages packaged together in it &#8211; I don&#8217;t know why I thought this, I&#8217;ve done this exact thing before successfully the correct way.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When trying to download the Italian language pack, this is wrong:\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/download\/details.aspx?id=42082\"><span style=\"color:#0070c0\">https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/download\/details.aspx?id=42082<\/span><\/a>\n\t<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/regroove.ca\/archive\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2017\/01\/010917_2051_ImportSPWeb1.png\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Note above that the URL includes &#8220;en-us&#8221; and the website reads in English &#8211; wrong!

Unfortunately there&#8217;s no way to correct this using the UI, but I was able to use <a href=\"https:\/\/whitepages.unlimitedviz.com\/2014\/03\/how-to-change-the-language-for-a-sharepoint-site\/\"><span style=\"color:#0070c0\">this post<\/span><\/a> from John White of UnlimitedViz) to allow me to change my language so I could import (note: this is not a supported technique, but I was beyond worrying about that by this point).\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The other issue I had after I had corrected the first few problems above was that the SharePoint 2013 environment I had installed the language pack into was SP1, but I had originally downloaded the SharePoint 2013 RTM language pack, not the SP1 language pack.  As such, although I could now get past the issues above, I was still not able to successfully see any of the contents of the SharePoint sites in the native language (Italian).  Again, another brain fart on my part &#8211; this is a warning, don&#8217;t try to SharePoint after taking 2 weeks off over the holidays.  After I downloaded and installed the SP1 language pack, all was right with the world again.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was recently working on a customer SharePoint site when I was running into this issue with trying to import new data into their environment. \u00a0 \u00a0 Import-SPWeb : Could not find language 1040 \u00a0 \u00a0 It was truly very frustrating as I had already installed what I thought was the correct language pack.
