Archive: Installer language


Installer language
One customer running NSIS built installer sent me a screen shot (See attached)

Any idea why is it showing that instead of English text?

if you included multiple languages, but don't allow the user to choose the language on startup, you should place english as the first language (rather than sorting by alphabet). otherwise you can run into problems like this, for instance if the windows language and the keyboard setting don't match.


Thanks for your help.

How do I do that? As in how to set English as Default language.

Your suggesting, change -

!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "Bulgarian"
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "Danish"
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "Dutch"
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English"
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "French"
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "German"
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "Greek"
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "Italian"

to this:

!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English"
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "Bulgarian"
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "Danish"
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "Dutch"
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "French"
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "German"
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "Greek"
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "Italian"

Also,

Where can I get the list of language support by MUI?
