Go to: http://www.netbeans.info/downloads/all.php?b_id=3095 2. Under "Archive Distributions", download the package: netbeans-5_5_1-es.zip 3. Execute the slackbuild as: NBLANG=es ./netbeans.SlackBuild to get this package in /tmp: netbeans-5.5.1_es-i586-1_SBo.tgz Other values for NBLANG could be: ja, pt_BR, zh_CN, de and zh_TW This SlackBuild was tested with "es" and "pt_BR" and with default language(english) so if it serves to you for the other values it's a good idea to send feedback about it :)
