Deploying solutions with Language Packs with PowerShell
In previous post(s) I described deploying your solutions with PowerShell. Lately I encountered the situation I had to deploy a solution language pack. This is a regular WSP file with the same Solution ID as the original solution, but containing localization resources for specific languages. The purpose of solution language packs is to add localization for additional languages after the original solution package has already been distributed without having to upgrade the original solution package. I suggest you read this MSDN article about Working with Language Pack Farm Solutions.
