I think you can best start your ftp client and find the folder /inc/languages/english and /inc/languages/english/admin of your forum. It is dependent on the ftp client used, but perhaps you can start info on this folder and change permissions to 766.

Did you change the permissions of other folders according to the installation guideline?

chmod 666 inc/config.php inc/settings.php
chmod 777 cache/ cache/themes/ uploads/ uploads/avatars/
If you are using FileZilla you can right click on a file or directory and click File Attributes to modify the permissions of that file.
With Cyberduck right click the file, choose info and the permissions tab.

I don't understand what you said, but I think you're saying the same thing as me: change the permissions to 766

Yes.

I think I roughly understood what you meant, perhaps you thought that the details of this post was copied and pasted because I didn't know what's the solution.

If yes, then no. I'm reporting the bug, the documentation is misleading.
Bugs are not reported in General Support, which no doubt created Ad's understandable confusion. Please create a thread in the appropriate forum.
