Language packs
TYPO3 is famous for its multilingual abilities. TYPO3 3.8.0 is available in 43 different languages. In TYPO3 3.8.0 each language is represented by an extension. So if you need a new language for backend or frontend you only install another language extension. In order to keep the software more compact these language extensions are no longer shipped by default.
Hint: The needed language extensions are named csh_[language code].
System Extensions
System extensions is an expression for fundamental extensions in TYPO3. All extensions that are now considered "System extensions" are included in the folder typo3/sysext/.
