What did you try specifically?
Is this an update you want to install or a fresh installation (erasing the contents of the hard drive first)?
What MacBook Pro do you have? When was it bought? And what Mac OS X version do you want to install?
If you don't need the data on your MacBook Pro's hard drive, you can use Disk Utility to erase the hard drive and format it again.

What other languages do you speak? Maybe someone with the ability to speak that language could help you out.
Have you tried the following?
1. Start from the Installer DVD by holding down "C".
2. Choose your preferred language.
3. Go to the Menu Bar > Utilities > Disk Utility.
4. Select your HDD (hard disk drive).
5. Go to the "Erase" tab.
6. Select Volume Format > Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
7. Click "Erase". And click "okay" or "yes", whatever comes next in the following dialog, so the process can proceed.
8. After all that is done, restart and boot again from the DVD, and try to install Mac OS.
But know, that erasing your HDD will delete all the data on that drive.
Did that help in any way? Or can't you erase your HDD, because you have not backed up yet?
