Multilingual Section Naming in MUI
Hi!

I am desperately trying to figure out how to make a Section name multilingual (English and French). This is a section that allows the user to put or not to put a shortcut on the Desktop. Here's what I have:

;--------------------------------
;Desktop Shortcut Section

LangString SecDeskShortcut ${LANG_ENGLISH} "Desktop Shortcut"
LangString SecDeskShortcut ${LANG_FRENCH} "Raccourci bureau"

SectionIn 1 2 3
CreateShortCut "$DESKTOP\ReserveIT.lnk" "$INSTDIR\ReserveIT.exe"

SectionEnd

;--------------------------------


And here's the error:

Error: command LangString not valid in section
Error in script "C:\Program Files\NSIS\Examples\Modern UI\ReserveIT.nsi" on line 134 -- aborting creation process


Is there a macro that I should be using instead of a direct LangString call to name a section?


Version: NSIS 2.06
Type: MUI

Thanks,

Ian

Shouldn't it be like this...?

LangString SecDeskShortcutName ${LANG_ENGLISH} "Desktop Shortcut"
LangString SecDeskShortcutName ${LANG_FRENCH} "Raccourci bureau"

Section "$(SecDeskShortcutName)" SecDeskShortcut
SectionIn 1 2 3
CreateShortCut "$DESKTOP\ReserveIT.lnk" \
"$INSTDIR\ReserveIT.exe"
SectionEnd
