[NSIS2]different files in other languages
When using the supplied multilanguage.nsi i ran into some troubles.

I want to add other files to an install if an other language is selected. I tried to create a constant with langstring

LangString File_Copy_settings.ini ${LANG_ENGLISH} "C:\Documents .\....\languages\english\settings.ini"

and next use "File" with with the variable File_Copy. but when using FIle $File_Copy. it doesn't work.

Does some one know what to do.. how to fix this quick? I dont want to use InstType and SectionIn

Thank You

The File command is not a run-time command (the compiler has to know which files should be added), so you should use another method:

StrCmp $LANGUAGE ${LANG_ENGLISH} "" +2
  File "English"
StrCmp $LANGUAGE ${LANG_GERMAN} "" +2
  File "German"

etc.

Btw, you have to use $(name) for a LangString.
