+5. Translate language file in each module located in modules/boonex/*/install/langs/en.php. Forum has 2 language files first in the regular location and another one in modules\boonex\forum\integrations\base\langs\en.php. Use the same language code for translated files like in 'Name' field in system language file.

+6. Put all translated files in a folder with all modules structure and exported system language in root of the folder. The name of folder must be named with vendor name, language name, version of the translation. So it may look like this:
