[Sle]

I have created new InstallAware Dialog file and is trying to localize it. Can you hep me with this. What is process to localize new Dialog. Also, what is the role of translations.map and how it works ?

You need to use the Localization Wizard. InstallAware only translates provided dialogs. If you create a custom dialog you will need to provide their translations yourself. You can do this by opening the folder you export to, then run the mTranslator.exe in that folder to edit the translations.

Thank you ! This helped. What about the InstallAware specific messages ? especially the ones before the language is selected. We run the tool on our servers which has various native languages (French, Spanish, German, ...) OS installed but the tool still display emglish messages until the language is selected. I thought, the tool would automatically detect the OS language and display the approriate message base on the language OS installed on the machine.

Can you please provide some info on this.

The initial language selection dialog will display its text according to the regional settings applied to the computer being installed on. In the future we may include an option to force this window to appear in another desired language, despite the machine settings.
