I installed SharePoint Language Pack but I can't see the 'Language Settings' link under Site Administration.

From CA I can see that the pack is installed without problems, no errors, no critical issues...

Any ideas?

Which language pack? (sounds obvious, but if you had just installed US English no other others [as a practice run], then no extra options appear anywhere). – James Love Jul 27 '11 at 11:12
microsoft.com/download/en/… This is the one I installed and I suppose it has support for various languages. – Élodie Petit Jul 27 '11 at 11:19
Ah ok, disregard my comment then :) – James Love Jul 27 '11 at 11:20
Actually, I believe you need to select the language from the dropdown on that page (default is set to English). It's confusing, because the UI language of that page changes too when you change the selection of the dropdown! For each language, you need to download and configure an individual language pack. – Jaap Vossers Jul 27 '11 at 12:33
Unfortunately there is not a link on the dropdown. The package I downloaded supports all the languages I suppose. So no need to download individual packages for each language. – Élodie Petit Jul 27 '11 at 12:47

I think the package I downloaded doesn't include French so that's the problem. It includes, by default, English support so I don't see any language preference anywhere. Product installation status shows that the package is installed. – Élodie Petit Jul 27 '11 at 13:54
