# Running Upgrade​

Launch the upgrade by pointing your browser to the _upgrade_ directory of your site:

```
http://example.com/upgrade/
```

This should show a page like this:

![XOOPS Upgrade Startup](https://1723894392-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-L_EjUvXXbOiEMe2qFIc%2F-L_EkOTndUbjmkcnpXxm%2F-L_EkPxQgo8Dxa8yFCLk%2Fupgrade-01.png?generation=1551821291523199\&alt=media)

Select the "Continue" button to proceed.

Each "Continue" advances through another patch. Keep continuing until all patches are applied, and the System Module Update page is presented.

## Choosing a Language

The main XOOPS distribution comes with English support. Support for additional locales is supplied by [XOOPS Local support sites](https://xoops.org/modules/xoopspartners/). This support can come in the form of a customized distribution, or additional files to add to the main distribution.

XOOPS translations are maintained on [transifex](https://www.transifex.com/xoops/public/)

If your XOOPS Upgrader has additional language support, you can change the language by selecting the language icon in the top menus, and choosing a different language.
