Hi,
	tar zxvvf worked for me on WP 8 language modules.  Maybe the file
was corrupted on download.  I've heard that some browser will do tranlations
on a file when downloading.  If you downloaded use and ftp client, were you
in binary mode ?

	Try doing:
$ file GUILGNL0.GZ

and see if it says that it is gzip compressed data.
