Several languages in one msi package

[davidekholm]

Is it possible to put several languages into one msi package? We're thinking of switching to AdvancedInstaller for Jalbum (http://jalbum.net). Jalbum is translated to 32 languages and we distribute all translations in one package. It therefore feels unpractical to make available 32 x 8MB = 256 MB worth of installer files just to let users install in their preferred language.

Hi,

Yes, Advanced Installer can create multilingual packages. You can select the languages in the package through the Languages tab of the "Translations" page. Please note that the User Guide contains the Other languages tutorial which may help you.

A multilingual MSI will automatically select the installation language based on the user locale. If you want to let the user select the language, you can use the "Display language selection dialog (for multi-language packages)" option in the Bootstrapper tab of the "Media" page.

Regards,
Cosmin
