Localization for the MsgBox

[shetty_rohan]

hi,

As mentioned in http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-g ... uages.html I have supported English and German languages. I also have "custom action" to display a message(i.e "display message box" custom action).

This message is always displayed in English, how can I support German message??

Regards,
Rohan

Hello Rohan,

In order to achieve this you can use another custom action which will run when your installation package UI will use German language. In order to condition the above custom action you can use the ProductLanguage property. Also, you can take a look on "Language Identifier Constants and Strings" article.

For example you can have an "Execute inline script code" custom action like this:

• Script Text: MsgBox "German message"
  Condition: ProductLanguage = 1031

Also, as another solution you can set the related message text in a property which will be used in your "display message box" custom action. Then, you can localize the property value.

Let us know if this helped.

All the best,
Daniel

If I understand you right, the first solution would only work for one language(i.e I need to have different .aip for every language).

Second solution would work with one .aip.

I tried the second solution(i.e http://www.advancedinstaller.com/user-g ... alize.html). I have created a property(i.e Product Information->Install Parameters-> Properties)

But, I am not able to locate "Click on the localization button (the one with the flags next to the [ ... ] button) in the “Properties” menu of the currently selected property". Can you please help.

Note: I currently make use of the "Advanced Installer 9.7 build 48524) Enterprise"

Hello,

No, you don't need to have different .AIPs (project files). You only need to have more message box custom actions (you need to have a custom action for all of your installation languages). Also, you should condition the related custom actions execution using the ProductLanguage property.

Second solution would work with one .aip.

If you want to localize a property value from "Install Parameters" page, then you can use the context menu "Localization..." option of the "Value" field from "Edit Property" dialog.
