Multilanguage support
 

I searched the forum , but I can't find easy solution/example. I've done installation script in english , but I also need russian language support - hoe to add it ?
May be there's a way to define local windows settings and run setup using appropriate language ?
_____________
now, are you actually asking 3 questions?

topic title (vpatch information generation):
nope, there isn't.
but you could easily create another nsis application, that does such a batch job for you.

russion language support:
is available, read the docs

language is choosen automatically based on local windows settings.

Topic title is some kind of forum bag... ( now I can't even change it ) I started topis about vpatch long time ago ( and I got the answer)... this topic was called "multilanguage support"...
The question was how to make installation with language select at the beginning ( with all the read me , warings in different languages)

Take a look in my moreifo plugin (Wiki search). There is an example for avery flexible multilanguage support. Specifically if you use custom pages.

Just try the "CustomLanguageDemo" demo included.

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.

As you can see the DEMO contains two language files, Dutch and English. Just copy the english version "ex_lang_English.nsh" and rename this to "ex_lang_Russian.nsh" and ajust the file with your preferred russian wording for the CUSTOM pages.

Add 1 line

!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE_EXTENDED "Russian"

to the file

"ex_lang_add.nsh"

Note that it never hurts to read the included comments in the files or read the help documents.

Success
