Installed locale not showing even though it is enabled

Hi,
I installed Japanese locale (http://vanillaforums.org/addon/vf_ja-locale), enabled and set it as default it in Dashboard but it is not appearing on forum main page. Do you have any suggestions on what I could be doing wrong? I am running a self-hosted version of Vanilla, v2.1.8p1.
Thanks!

Try clearing the .ini files in the /cache directory

I tried clearing out the .ini files, but Japanese UI text is still not showing. Any other suggestions?
Has anyone have successfully installed and run a non-English locale on a self hosted version? I'm wondering if it is the locale files issue...
Yes. Add a line with your locale definition to /conf/config.php
$Configuration['Garden']['Locale'] = 'en-US'; $Configuration['EnabledLocales']['YourForumName'] = 'en-US';
Change YourForumName to your forum name, and en-US to the locale you want.
Normally there are no problems.
That's it.
Thanks everyone for your advise. I tried the suggestions offered so far but Japanese UI text is still not showing up. I see a directory that is in /applications/vanilla/locale, and it only has en-US in it. Should the locale files be uploaded to that instead of /locale? Maybe wrong file permissions? I wonder if there is a way to run Vanilla in debug mode....
I installed Vanilla through MojoMarketplace. Maybe that's the problem...
It works without a problem for me, I just tested it.
And yes, you can run vanilla in debug mode by adding this to your conf/config.php
But I doubt it will help with your locale problem.

@Bleistivt, when you extracted the files, did you just upload the files in vf-ja folder and the folder itself to /locales? Or did you upload the one level up with version number?
So it turns out that I needed to uncompress the zip file right in the /locale directory on the server. I was uncompressing locally on a folder on my machine, and then uploading it. Learned a lesson here.
