If you do a CVS checkout on Head, you'll get the acs-lang package. Then you'll still have to install it using the APM ("/acs-admin/apm" on your server), if it's not already installed.

I'm not totally sure what you're not able to accomplish: getting the acs-lang package installed or having some other package i18n:ized. Could you tell us exactly what you have done and where did you get into trouble?

Note that only packages that are used in dotLRN are generally internationalized (+lars-blogger afaik) so having acs-lang installed only gives you means to internationalize a package if it's not done yet. I think you should definitely start by reading the docs found in http://www.collaboraid.biz/extranet/i18n/ . Please remember that i18n is still a work-in-progress.
