Multi language installer

Hi,

How Can I offer the user a multi language installer, with Select Language dialog?

Thanks,
Bogdan

Hi,

Go to Translation page and select the languages you desire. Also select “Create only a multilingual package” radio button.

Now go to Media page → Bootstrapper tab. Check “Create EXE setup file” and “Display language selection dialog” radio button from the User Interface group.

This settings should allow the package to be installed with a user specified language.

Thank you very much.

Just small note, won't be easier to place that option (Show Language Dialog Box) somewhere in the Dialog Section, instead of being hidden in the Bootstrapper tab?

Re: Multi language installer

Hi,

The settings in the Dialogs page are used only in the MSI. The language selection dialog is a part of the EXE bootstrapper which is separated from the MSI. This is why it's being kept in the Media page, under the Bootstrapper tab.
