language pack

Translation add-on software

A language pack is a downloadable add-on that translates software into a different language.

Operating systems, apps, and games ship in one or a few languages; language packs let users switch the interface to their preferred language without reinstalling: I downloaded the Spanish language pack for Windows.

Some packs include regional variants like British versus American English.
