      Description

      When the auto install add ons validation looks for the /lang/en folder.
      If it does not find it, then validation fails and the plugin cannot be installed.

      Depending on how the add on zip file was created however, there may be no folder entries in the zip file. Just files with the full file path.
      Most unzip apps can handle both ok. To illustrate, the contents of the PoodLL filter which fails validation look a bit like this:
      poodll/lang/en/filter_poodll.php
      poodll/module.js
      poodll/pix/download.gif

      But the ensemble filter zip which passes validation looks like this:
      ensemble/lang/
      ensemble/lang/en/
      ensemble/lang/en/filter_ensemble.php
      ensemble/pix/
      ensemble/pix/icon.png

      The code that does all this in:
      admin/tool/installaddon/classes/validator.php

      And the area that needs to be fixed is in function:
      validate_language_pack
