Default to Base Locale for French-Canadian and Portuguese-Brazilian

InstallAnywhere 2026 R1

For French and Portuguese, InstallAnywhere supports both base and a customized version of the locale:

•

French (fr) and French Canadian (fr_CA)

•

Portuguese (pt) and Portuguese Brazilian (pt_BR)

If you create a project and build it with both English and French locales (with English set as default) but not with the French Canadian locale, if the installer is run on a machine with a system locale of French-Canadian, the installer will use French instead of English. InstallAnywhere is smart enough to know that the base locale of the missing locale is a better choice than using the actual default locale.

The same is true for Portuguese (pt) and Portuguese-Brazilian (pt_BR).

Note:This behavior is not applicable for Chinese because there is no base locale for Chinese-simplified and Chinese-traditional.
