For example, inside the en_Ca\Configuration:

For example, inside the en_US\Configuration:

The main folder is the one with more files. In this case, Adobe is using English (US) as the main language. The folder en_CA only contains what was installed with the extension installation: commands, Javascript and WindowSWF.

3. Copy and paste the contents of the commands folder within the sub-language folder, to the commands folder within the main language folder .

4. Copy and paste the contents of the Javascript folder within the sub-language folder, to the Javascript folder within the main language folder.

5. Copy and paste the contents of the WindowSWF folder within the sub-language folder, to the WindowSWF folder within the main language folder.
