Hi Nicholas,

Can you implement an option to adjust the update server URL? Then I can use the update server of the dutch updates.

Hi Spark,

Unfortunately, this is not possible to do before April 2012. Sounds a little odd, but here's what is going on. In order to support both Joomla! 1.5 and 1.7, instead of relying to the XML update feed, we actually perform "page scraping", which means that Admin Tools actually loads the pages from http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/frs, parses them and deducts the availability and location of update packages.

After April 2012, when Joomla! 1.5 stops being officially supported, we will be able to drop that feature and rely on Joomla!'s XML update streams instead. When that happens, we will be able to allow you to specify custom update servers. In the meantime, you can still use Admin Tools, update to the latest Joomla! release and then update to the latest official Dutch language package from http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/jtranslation/frs/

Hi Nicholas,

Okay, then I'll update the languages manually. I'll wait till april 2012 for the automatic dutch updates. Or I'll install the dutch update extension (only for 1.5).

Thanks for your quick reply,
Regards!
