Translation and Messgage Boxes

Is it possible to provide translation for message boxes?

Re: Translation and Messgage Boxes

Hello,

In order to achieve what you want you can use an installer property in your "Display message box" custom action fields which can be localized.

A similar subject is debated on our “Translation of Error Message” thread.

Another approach is the following: you can have a message box already translated for every language, and use a condition in order to display the right message box depending the language that it has been selected for the installation.
Example:
* for English the condition can be:

Code: Select all

ProductLanguage = 1033
*for French the condition can be:

Code: Select all

ProductLanguage = 1036

Dan,

Thank you for the prompt replay! We are going to use the first approach - using a property. I have 4 error conditions that need translated into 14 languages so it will be easier that way.
