no language packs found

While attempting to change the label on the "Priority" field as per these instructions (https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA051/How+to+Rename+the+%27Priority%27+Field+in+the+Issue+Navigator) I discovered that my installation has no jars with a name containing "jira-lang". I did a search on the entire installation directory, and there just aren't any, not even jira-lang-default.jar.

This is Jira 5.0. Why aren't there any language packs at all... how is it even working without any?

Check out under JIRA_HOME/plugins/.bundled_plugins folder

It comes from the atlassian bundled plugins zip under WEB-INF/classes.

Thanks Jobin. I found atlassian-bundled-plugins.zip, and it does have the language jars inside of it, but there isn't any .bundled_plugins folder in my installation either.

Do you know if I'm supposed to just extract these packs to the WEB-INF/libs directory manually?

It is a hidden folder. What you need to do is to modify the jars inside the zip. Those jars will be exploded at startup.

It turns out that documentation is outdated. The new process is described here: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/66852/language-files-appear-not-to-be-present-in-jira_root-atlassian-jira-web-inf-lib
