I have added Russian Language pack under Admin using the single click install. When I choose Russian I get only square boxes and no text. I have tried all of the different encodings in IE with no result. Is this an IIS setting or Database collation, maybe .net ? where do I start to resolve this?

The problem seems to be in the Terminolgy table. There is no cyrillic text in the database table (the text appears as small squares). Collation problem? maybe upload problem? I tried install the language pack both ways with same result.
I don't know where to begin to fix this?
The problem is not likely in the database. The database can support just about any language as we store the data in Unicode.
Does Windows have the correct language pack installed? A quick way to determine this is to use Internet Explorer to navigate to a site that displays cyrillic text. You have indicated that you want Russian, so go to http://www.google.ru/. If the page looks good, the Windows has the correct language pack installed.
As a last resort, you may have to create the language pack yourself. It is time consuming, but if you know the language, it should go quickly. Dump the English language pack from http://localhost/_devtools/terminology.aspx, replace en-US with ru-RU, then start converting the display text.
When you are done, you will have a SQL file that will insert the new Russian language pack. Use SQL Server Management Studio to run the new SQL and insert the terms.
We have a considerable amount of PCs here running Russian Windows and they have the correct language pack. When we open the Database in Management studio we can see that the splendid zip file did not put any cyrillic text into the database. We can add a cyrillic text into the middle of the teminolgy table and get cryillic text on the site. This means there is problem with your Russian language pack or a problem in which installs it. Considering I can see the incorrect text in the database there is a problem with it.
