Hi,

I am not really sure what you are referring to, but the InstallAware shared strings are all stored in the trans folder.

Which files do you have there? You should have files with the extension of the language for all the languages, for example:
translation.Polish
translation.German

etc

Hi,

If you look at your root InstallAware folder, you'll see reference.{LANGUAGE} files. These contain the text in the corresponding language.

The translations.* files are shared strings for all our installer messages. We ship all of our localizations in English because these shared strings get built into any setup that you build with InstallAware, automatically.

The reference.* files are used to localize a particular setup, and contain localizations of the Official dialog theme, most of the runtime installer scripts, as well as localizations of global setup strings. These are used to be able to completely localize any setup (without any custom strings added in the setup script and UI dialogs) as of our v9 original release.

Localizing a setup at least once with the Localization Wizard together with the "automatic translate" option will also automatically update the entire translations.* files with their localized versions.
