+Moodle Language Packs
+
+This directory contains the standard packaged Moodle language files,
+for making the Moodle interface appear in different interfaces.
+
+The default language for Moodle is the English language, under the 
+Unicode scheme (UTF8).
+
+To add more languages to Moodle, you can either:
+
+ 1) use the Moodle languages GUI in the interface to fetch 
+    new languages and install them in your 'dataroot' directory.
+
+ 2) download them and unzip the packs in this directory manually
+
+
+For more information, see the Moodle Documentation:
+
+   http://docs.moodle.org/en/Translation

+
+Cheers,
+Moodle Development Team
