With DotNetNuke version 4.9.0 is included by default a Skin called MinimalExtropy. This Skin has a localizable label called TEXT, with which it is possible to show up different texts depending on the language that the portal has configured at a given time.

That text is configured inside a file stored in the following folder:
[RootFolder]\Portals\_default\Skins\MinimalExtropy\App_LocalResources\

Within DNNEnglish and DNNCastellano Language Packs for DotNetNuke v4.9.0 is included a ZIP file containing a file called  "index.ascx.yy-XX.resx" which is intended to be installed inside that same folder, and thus provide a correct localization for the Skin's Text label.

Steps to install "index.ascx.yy-XX.resx":

1. Find the following folder: [RootFolder]\Portals\_default\Skins\MinimalExtropy\App_LocalResources\
2. Take care not to erase nor modify the file index.ascx.resx, that corresponds to the en-US default localization.
3. Copy this file inside that folder.
4. Rename it, replacing the yy-XX code by your selected locale, being 'yy' the language (es, en, fr, pt, etc.) and 'XX' the country code (ES, MX, BR, CA, etc.).
5. The name of the file should look like: index.ascx.es-ES.resx or index.ascx.es-MX.resx, etc.

If you did not download "index.ascx.yy-XX.resx":

1. Find the following folder: [RootFolder]\Portals\_default\Skins\MinimalExtropy\App_LocalResources\
2. Copy the file index.ascx.resx, that corresponds to the en-US default localization and rename that copy as "index.ascx.yy-XX.resx"
3. Follow the steps listed above, and that's just about it.
4. You may have as many copies of that file as you wish, one for each available language on your Portal.
5. Just don't forget to edit the text inside the file ;-)
   

Saludos!
