Multilanguage error messages
Creating multilanguage installer. Problem is how to fix those MessageBox'es i have.

I thought this would work, but it didn't.

MessageBox MB_OK "${$LANGUAGE_ERRORCODE1}"

Is there any nice way of doing this? Maybe MessageBox /LANG= would be an idea to inplement?

StrCmp + macro
No direct way (as i know). Use StrCmp. For clear code use macros. Ex:

!macro LANG_MB LANGID OPTIONS TEXT
StrCmp $LANGUAGE ${LANGID} 0 +2
MessageBox ${OPTIONS} "${TEXT}"
!macroend

Use ex:
!insertmacro LANG_MB ${LANG_ENGLISH} MB_OK "Just english text"
!insertmacro LANG_MB ${LANG_RUSSIAN} MB_OK "Just russian text"

It's huge and stupid, but should work...

yepp, that should work.. i guess i'll have to do it that way at the moment.

but i ran into another strange thing today.


!define LANG_ENG 1033

!define 1033_CMPTXT "Check the components you want to install and uncheck the components you don't want to install. Click Next to continue."

ComponentText /LANG=${LANG_ENG} "${${LANG_ENG}_CMPTXT}"


This works as long as i don't use "${${LANG_ENG}_CMPTXT}", but "${1033_CMPTXT}". When i do it with LANG_ENG, it just displays $1033_CMPTXT as the text.

Bug, or am i missing something??
