How to use my own language files?

Hello!
I make an installer that should be available in three different language. I use constants like this:

LangString DESC_SecPHP ${LANG_ENGLISH} "PHP Scripting Engine. (required)"

I would like to put such constants in separate files, which i will include depending of choosen language. I try to include my language file in .onInit-function, but I receive this error : "command LangString not valid in function". I have also tried with !define, but then my script would not find the constant.

Help!
Best regards, frodelan

You can put your LangString in nsh-files. And use !include "file.nsh".

It does not work. I got the same error message; "command LangString not valid in function"

/frodelan

Remove !include from function.

What do you mean? I have this code:

Function .onInit

-------
-------

${Switch} $LANGUAGE
${Case} ${LANG_ENGLISH}
!include "English.nsh"
${Break}
${EndSwitch}

-------
-------
FunctionEnd

And in English.nsh I have many LangString statements.

From docs:

langString
...
Defines a multilingual string. This means the its value will be different (or not, it's up to you) for every language. It allows you to easily make your installer multilingual without the need to add massive switches to the script.

I think you need use code like this:
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English"
!include "English.nsh" etc.
