"Refresh the current dialog" changes language

Tue Oct 05, 2021 4:57 pm

I am building a multi language installer with "English" as base language and "German" as second language. The language is set in a language selection dialog. The installer contains a custom diaolg which needs to be refreshed during installation.
When "German" language is selected, every time the custom dialog is refreshed, it changes the language of all text and button captions.

Just for a test I created a text item and a button in the "WelcomeDlg". As the only event of the button I selected "Refresh the current dialog". And again: every time I click the button it changes the translation of the text item from "German" to "English" and back.

This does not happen when I select "English" in the language selection dialog.

What can I do to stop this behaviour?

Hello,

I have tested this and I was indeed able to replicate the behavior.

Unfortunately, I can not say for sure why this is happening. I will forward this to our development team for further investigations.

In the meantime, could you please try to go to "Themes" page --> "Settings" tab --> set "Use Enhanced User Interface" to "Only on install" and let me know if that helps?

Dear Catalin,

thanks for the quick help. The setting you suggested did the job. Now there is no change of language anymore when refreshing the dialog.

Cheers,
