localize the bootstrapper to non-supported languages

If we want to create new dictionaries for languages that Advanced Installer does not support, can Advanced Installer still add localized strings for those new languages to the bootstrapper screens? The dictionaries only cover the .msi strings, which is why I am asking the question.

===

Context: If we customize the bootstrapper screens text then Advanced Installer can add the new localized text for us for the bootstrapper screens if we send AI our translated strings.

The new question is, if we want to support languages that Advanced Installer does not currently support, can AI add localized strings for these new languages to our bootstrapper .exe?

Re: localize the bootstrapper to non-supported languages

Hello,

We can add the localized strings only if the complete set of bootstrapper strings are translated. Simply contact us on support at advancedinstaller dot com so we can send it to you.
Please note that you can not localize the bootstrapper yourself.

Regards,
Gabriel

And that definitely includes languages that Advanced Installer does not currently support that we want to add support for?

Re: localize the bootstrapper to non-supported languages

Hi,

Yes, new languages can be added. We will send you a list of all the english strings that are present in the bootstrapper. You can translate them in any language you desire (provided Advanced Installer does not already support it), just note that all the strings must be translated. You can also translate the .msi strings. In exchange we will gladly give you a free AI License (if you don't already have one) or a Maintenance Plan.

Regards,
Gabriel
