Hello everyone,I try to install language by window of Download,but nothing happens.
I am with Ubuntu 9.10.
Any advise?

Hi, welcome to the forums
what language are you trying to install ?  In theory, aMSN comes with all available languages pre-installed..
it's possible that you're trying to install the languages to /usr/share/amsn/lang/ which is probably not writable for the user, you may have to run amsn with 'sudo', download the language, then close aMSN and relaunch it as your normal user.

I'm trying to install Bulgarian.In Windows Vista wen I select Bulgarian and then click Download it's happens.
Why not happens in Ubuntu.
Fail not download.
Not all users have in linux guru.

it's because on windows vista there is no protection and you can write the downloaded file wherever you want, on linux, there is more security that prevents you from writing files to the system without gaining root access. Like I explained, it's very simple, just do this :
1 - open a Terminal
2 - type 'sudo amsn'
3 - enter your password
4 - open will open, download the language
5 - close amsn and the terminal
6 - run amsn normally, the language should be available to you now.

Thank you kakaroto,but now I have some error :
"aMSN Error:Configuration file is corrupt.Creating new one.Old file will be saved to /home/bobi/.amsn/btotev_hotmail_com/config.xml.old.Please send it to us to check what happend."

[kakaroto]

euhh... ok? don't know what happened, maybe you quit amsn the wrong way and the file got corrupted.. as far as I know, it's just a warning and you start off with a new config, but aMSN should still work.
