Language name in the language selector dialog
Posted: Thu Aug 17, 2006 9:50 am
Hello,
I am preparing the installation script, and would like to use the Language selector box. After translating the global strings, the box is translated and proper language (based on system locale) is selected.
What doesn't get translated in my install are the language names. If I run the setup on German machine, it will start in German, and the prompts in the language selector are German, but the language names in the combobox are still in English? (would like to see Deutsch there, not German
)
Is there a way to translate the languag names? If not, probably I could solve this by implementing language selection in a custom dialog. If this is the solution, can you give me a hint, what is the optimal way to determine system locale and then set the LANGUAGE variable? I tried by with "Get System Settings" command, getting Language ID (number) and then writing several IF statements to set the language. Is there an easier way?
Thanks for support
