How to use the language files?

Hi there,

there are language files in this folder

Harddisc\Programms\NSIS\Contrib\Language files

How can I use for example "German.nsh"
that my setup/installer which I want to create would be in German language?

Because currently it's in English.

Thanks very much,
gmn77


Is this all free for commercial use?

Thanks but I changed the first line of the languages to German, and its still English.
& I even tried to chang the NSIS\Contrib\Modern UI\System.nsh,
but: Still English.

What I have exactly to do to change the language of the installer to German?
(I'm using "Installer based on Zip-File", Interface: Modern, Compression: Zlib)

Thanks for help👍🙂

I changed the file MultiLanguage.nsi in Examples as the following:

;--------------------------------
;Languages

!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "German" ;first language is the default language
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "French"
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English"

....

Then I created a new Installer with "Installer based on zip-File", but the Installer is still English. Is that what you meant by "build"?


What could I have done wrong?🙁

Right click on MultiLanguage.nsi and Compile NSIS script (yes, build means compile in this context).

Hi, thanks very much for the support.

It now works and my setup is German 🙂

But.. what I actually meant was to modify this file, what I found out a few minutes ago:
...\NSIS\Contrib\zip2exe\Modern.nsh

This was the solution 🙂

But thanks😁
Sorry even for asking such a easy question because actually the information is in the software (NSIS zip2exe) ("To customize NSIS script code...") So I think you thought I meant something else, because this would be too easy😁👍
