Language specific files
Hi all,
I need to create multilanguage installer. I have some files that depends on selected language and some that are same for all languages (must be installed always). Is there any way how to create this?

Thnx for any help

you can query $LANGUAGE and do operations depending of its value

Yes, it is possible, but is there any automatic way? Like using LangString.

And I thinking about using language specific sections. User will select language and only section for this language is displayed.

i guess automatic will be difficult, as i'm not sure what's the best way to determine a user's language. take me, i'm using an english os with german keyboard and austro-german language settings.

You are selecting language when installer is starting. All other things will be related to this selected language.

when the user has to choose the language on startup, use the method i described in my first reply!

${If} $LANGUAGE == "1033"
  File "English.exe"
  File "English.txt"
${ElseIf} $LANGUAGE == "1036"
  File "French.exe"
  File "French.txt"
# and so forth
${EndIf}
