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.

See the included example languages.nsi 🙂

the function

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

?

I have write :

...



!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



...

But it doesn't works. The text display by the messagebox is always in french.

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.
