To install language modules in Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 R2, you must first download the language module from Language Modules for Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2013 (requires PartnerSource login), and then you install the following different components separately:

Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web Client Component
To install the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client component of a language module
Confirm that you have installed the server component of the language module before you install the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web client component.
On the computer that is running the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Web Server components, navigate to the location where you downloaded the language module.
In the WebClient folder, run WebClient.Local.<country/region code>.<language code>.msi.
Microsoft Office Outlook Component
To install the Microsoft Office Outlook component of a language module
On the computer that is running the development environment, navigate to the location where you downloaded the language module.
In the OutlookAddIn folder, run OutlookAddIn.Local.<country/region code>.<language code>.msi.
Database Component
To install the database component of a language module
Verify that the license that you are using allows you to compile objects.
In the development environment client, open Object Designer.
In Object Designer, choose All.
On the Edit menu, choose Select All.
If you have Microsoft Office 2010 installed, then compile all objects.
On the Tools menu, choose Compile, and then choose the Yes button.
Note If you do not compile objects before you import the language module, you will receive the “Could not load the selected type library” error when you import a language module in the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Development Environment. The error occurs because several objects have a reference to Microsoft Office 2013 components, and these are not present when you have Microsoft Office 2010 installed.
On the Tools menu, point to Language Module, and then choose Import.
In the Language Module Import window, browse to the location where you downloaded the language module, navigate to the Database folder, select the .flm file, and then choose Open.
With all objects selected, on the Tools menu, choose Compile.
