Today I installed the SP2010 Dutch language pack (download here; all languages) on our test sharepoint farm. After executing the ServerLanguagePack.exe file the language pack is being installed. When finished you can choose to Run the SharePoint Configuration Wizard immediately when you close the installation box.
I did so and expected it to work. I created [...]
