Detecting what language user has chosen?

Hi, we are using the multilingual support in Installaware (IA 9).

Is there a variable that tells us which language the user has chosen?
We need this to customize the installed software to be runned in the language chosen by the user during install time.

Please advise.

Best regards.

Hi, joltman!

Sure, you can check the selected language via LANGUAGE variable. This variable uses twice. 1 as a compiler variable (#LANGUAGE#), which holds the default build language. 2 as a runtime predefined variable ($LANGUAGE$) which holds the current active language. Btw, you can change the language in runtime using $LANGUAGE$.

Hope this helps!
