Understanding Discuz Plugins
Discuz is a popular forum software widely used in the Chinese-speaking community. One of its great features is the support for plugins that enhance the functionality of the forum. When you install a plugin, especially those that require multilingual support, it is essential to know where the language packs are stored. Language packs are critical for ensuring that users can navigate the forum in their preferred language without any difficulties.
Where to Find Language Packs After Installation
After installing a plugin in Discuz, the language packs are typically located in the plugin's directory within the Discuz root folder. To find the exact path, navigate to the following directory structure: /source/plugin/your_plugin_name/lang/.
