    2. Select a template and download the template file
    3. Switch to the Locale you want to Update for that template > select 'Switch To'
    4. Select the Character Encoding
    5. After page loads > Select Download (this will be a '.txt' file)
    6. Update the default portion of the template with the correct locale
    7. Save the file (it should still only be a '.txt' file)
    8. Click Browse > select the file with the update
    9. Click on "Upload Template File"

When done with each specific language, repeat the steps for any additional language packs being used.
