Typically you would do one of two thingsa) install the Spanish version of WSs 3.0orb) install the English version of WSS 3.0 and the Spanish language pack and then create sites that use the Spanish option you will then have.In the case of b) the default site and central administration would be in English but all the other sites (provided you choose to create Spanish sites) would be in Spanish.There are no guarantees that changes of the kind suggested by Andr will survive fixes; service packs etc.P.S. moving to the Admin forum

The main language pack is supposed to have the language I need already included. I just cannot figure out how to switch the site from English to the other language. Not sure what am I doing wrong. I would really appreciate any kind of help!
