Manage language
Hello,

I use many MessageBox in my setup.

MessageBox MB_OK|MB_ICONEXCLAMATION "warning you should..."

I have define two language in my setup :

!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English"
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "French"

and the user can choose the langage due to

!insertmacro MUI_LANGDLL_DISPLAY

How to manage language for my messagebox ?

I want have two variable for the text show in the MessageBox: one for english, one for french.

MessageBox MB_OK|MB_ICONEXCLAMATION $text_msg_box1

I search any example.

Thanks for help.

LangString Sec1Name ${LANG_FRENCH} "French section #1"

can't be use with

!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English"
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "French"

and

!insertmacro MUI_LANGDLL_DISPLAY

...

!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English"
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "French"

LangString Sec1Name ${LANG_ENGLISH} "English section #1"
LangString Sec1Name ${LANG_FRENCH} "French section #1"

...

Function .onInit
  !insertmacro MUI_LANGDLL_DISPLAY

   MessageBox MB_YESNO|MB_ICONQUESTION "$(Sec1Name)" IDOK
FunctionEnd

Discussed several times that in function .onInit where the gui isn't yet initialized you can't use language strings, go to function .onGUIInit instead.

Perform a forum search about that and you'll find several related threads and examples as well.
