Major problems with translation !

Post by usro »

We have a few problems with the translation:
1. We have translated all texts, everything appeas in the desired language, except the dialog which asks for the setup password which always comes in english. It should detect the user locale and appear in the local language, even the setup should auto select the language choosen from the windows locale, like installshield does.

2. we have added 2 controls to one dialog in the setup project then re-exported the strings to translate these two new controls, but surprise ! WE HAVE TO TRANSLATE ALL STRINGS AGAIN !!! It is impossible to translate everything again, just for 2 new controls added !

3. There is no way to add, remove, cut, paste or copy entries in the translation editor.

4. How to enter different license agreements for each language ?



Please let me know if you have a solution for this.

Thanks

1) The main setup does pre-select the locale. The initialization (self-extraction) dialog supports only the default build language at this time.

2) Existing strings are preserved, but only when you export to a folder already containing your previous translation.

3) Thanks for this feature suggestion.

4) This is already described in the help file - let me know if you cannot find it.

Note for #1 above - an upcoming update resolves this limitation.
