MUI + Languages + Override default text

i try use simple code:

!include "MUI.nsh"
Name "LangTest"
OutFile "LangTest.exe"
LangString WELCOME_TEXT ${LANG_RUSSIAN} "RUSSIAN"
LangString WELCOME_TEXT ${LANG_ENGLISH} "ENGLISH"
 
!define MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TEXT "$(WELCOME_TEXT)"
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_WELCOME
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English"
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "Russian"
Section ""
SectionEnd
Function .onInit
    !insertmacro MUI_LANGDLL_DISPLAY
FunctionEnd
and when i select 'Russian' there are no any text on welcome page.

i try search in forum and find that i must use !insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English" before use ${LANG_RUSSIAN}. but if i move !insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English" on top i get many errors.

also i find information about using
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGEFILE_STRING MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TEXT "..." instead of !define MUI_WELCOMEPAGE_TEXT but in my versions MUI (i try 1.69 and 1.70) this macro is undefied.

i don't want edit languages files and system.nsh because i need override only some string.

where is my mistake?

P.S. i read faq/doc and i try search answers this forum.
P.P.S. changing texts in Sections work fine.

Move:

LangString WELCOME_TEXT ${LANG_RUSSIAN} "RUSSIAN"
LangString WELCOME_TEXT ${LANG_ENGLISH} "ENGLISH"

to the bottom.

Language string names are always unique, the place of the definition doesn't make any difference.

It should be below the language macro in this case because ${LANG_ENGLISH}, the Enlish language ID (1033) is set when the language file is loaded.

Dj Nyx#edited
no i don't get the box in which i can choose between the languages
Joost Verburg#
There is a probably already a language setting in the registry, you didn't define MUI_LANGDLL_ALWAYSSHOW.
Dj Nyx#
oh i found the problem...
.onInit have to be on the bottom of the document.
at least after the welcome pages, i haven't tried...

but thx for the quickie info
