          * includes/lang_english.php
          * includes/lang_suomi.php

          * template/default.php

      4. Make changes to config.php , file is pretty well documented.
			
      5. In a browser, go to the url install.php and follow the insctructions.
          This file will install datenator, but make sure you have made the changes
          to config.php

      6. Calendar should be now installed. Login to the calendar as a default user.
			     
            Username : admin
            Password : password

         Once your logged in, i recommend you to change your password from 
         "calendar settings".

      7. Installation is now complete, you can delete install.php if you want.

IV. Customizing your calendar

      1. Language files

          You can translate calendar easily to your own language. Just open
          some of the language files, edit it, and save.

          Note that filename must start with "lang_" so save your langfile 
          like this, for example: "lang_yourlang.php".

      2. Template file

          Datenator is using one template file (template/default.php).
          This is a powerful way to customize datenator to fit on your website, 
          only thing you need is a bit HTML knowledge. Default template file
          is quite well documented.

      3. CSS-Styles

          You can change calendar colors, text styles and much more by 
          modifying calStyle.css-file (css/calStyle.css).
          
          If you know nothing about cascading style sheets I recommend you
          to leave this file as it was. :)
