I have a laptop, and I want to install Indonesian language pack. Unfortunately, there is no Internet connection. Can I install language packs offline (assuming I can download files in another computer)?

Log:

You can download those packages, and then use dpkg to install them manually.

How to download the packages

Run the command

wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/firefox/firefox-locale-id_11.0+build1-0ubuntu4_all.deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/libr/libreoffice/libreoffice-l10n-id_3.5.2-2ubuntu1_all.deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/language-pack-gnome-id-base/language-pack-gnome-id-base_12.04+20120417_all.deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/language-pack-gnome-id/language-pack-gnome-id_12.04+20120417_all.deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/language-pack-id-base/language-pack-id-base_12.04+20120417_all.deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/language-pack-id/language-pack-id_12.04+20120417_all.deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openoffice.org-hyphenation/openoffice.org-hyphenation_0.6_all.deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/p/poppler-data/poppler-data_0.4.5-2_all.deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/t/thunderbird/thunderbird-locale-id_11.0.1+build1-0ubuntu2_all.deb

(it is a long command line; once you run it, it will download all packages that you referenced above).

How to install the packages

Run the command

sudo dpkg -i *deb

(assuming that no other .deb files exist in the same direcory).

That's it!
