Where to define LangString variables
I want to show localized messages in the .OnInit section and use the following code :

......

!define MUI_BRANDINGTEXT " "
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English"

!define MUI_BRANDINGTEXT " "
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "French"

LangString AC_AdminRights ${LANG_ENGLISH} "You must be logged in as an administrator when installing this program."
LangString AC_AdminRights ${LANG_FRENCH} "Vous devez être connecté en tant qu'administrateur pour installer ce programme."

...

and the .onInit section looks like :

Function .onInit

;Language selection

!insertmacro MUI_LANGDLL_DISPLAY
LangDLL::LangDialog "Installer Language" "Please select a language."

Pop $LANGUAGE
StrCmp $LANGUAGE "cancel" 0 CheckAdmin
Abort

CheckAdmin:

ClearErrors
UserInfo::GetName
Pop $0
UserInfo::GetAccountType
Pop $1
StrCmp $1 "Admin" 0 +2
Goto IsAdmin

MessageBox MB_OK $(AC_AdminRights)
Abort

IsAdmin:

FunctionEnd

The problem is that the Message is always shown in English, even if I select the "French" installer language. Any help is welcome.

Thanks, Romain

Changes to $LANGUAGE in .onInit don't take affect right away but only after .onInit. Use it in .onGUIInit, or just show the message in .onGUIInit so it'll check in silent installers too.
