It could be because you missed out the registry language settings:
!define MUI_LANGDLL_REGISTRY_ROOT "HKCU"
!define MUI_LANGDLL_REGISTRY_KEY "Software\Modern UI Test"
!define MUI_LANGDLL_REGISTRY_VALUENAME "Installer Language"

ok ,

i must uninstall the program first to test the installer again , because it reminds the language selection

is it possible to remove this feature ? i dont consider selecting language at each install as an heavy task for user..

[EDIT]

To make your installer always ask the user to select a language use

!define MUI_LANGDLL_ALWAYSSHOW

There is no need to remove the MUI_LANGDLL_REGISTRY_ROOT, MUI_LANGDLL_REGISTRY_KEY and MUI_LANGDLL_REGISTRY_VALUENAME defines.

The MUI_LANGDLL_ALWAYSSHOW define ensures the installer always shows the language selection dialog, even if a language has been stored in the registry. The language stored in the registry will be selected by default.

See the "Language Selection Dialog" part of the MUI ReadMe for further details.

Multilingual example in Moreinfo

Multilingual example in Moreinfo plugin. Multi language in an easy extensible way in one of the demos. Will solve a lot of multilanguage language problems.
The "CustomLanguageDemo" Fully shows the power of getting the OS GUI language. I the demo a good example of how custompage localization works and could be implemented.

See the Wikipage

http://nsis.sourceforge.net/wiki/MoreInfo_plug-in

Or take a look in:
