select a startup language

[cenber]

Hi there. i'm using SUF 8 and i'm a brand new user.
i know that there is no language selection dialog on startup. But if the users changed their regional settings from (x) language to (y), is it possible the installation starts in (y) language?
i've also translated my specific texts on screens from english to turkish and saved each pages as xml. Is that helpful for me?

Hi,

the language used for the installer is based on the user's regional and language settings. If the detected language was not included in the installer, the language that was set as default will then be used. You can create a custom screen with a combo box, showing all the languages that you included in your installer, and let the user set the preferred language at the start of the installation (see Application.SetInstallLanguage() for details).

i've also translated my specific texts on screens from english to turkish and saved each pages as xml. Is that helpful for me?

It seems that you have translated some screens, which is a good start. The whole procedure how to manage language files and create your own translations is explained in great detail in chapter 7 of the user guide. I suggest that you read it. If you manage to translate the messages and the screens, you can send us the package and we may place it on the web site, so other customers in need of the Turkish language may add it to their installers.
