Use the Locales subtab to define the languages to include in each build configuration. A locale is enabled when its check box is selected.

The Locales subtab includes the following controls:

Locales Subtab Controls

Control

Description

Deselect All

Unchecks all locale options in the Locale List except for English.

Default Locale for Targets with Unsupported Languages

Select the language to use if the target machine’s operating system uses a language that is not supported by the installer. If the installer is started on a platform that uses an unsupported language, then the selected language will be used.

Note • The default locale selection that you make has the following impact depending upon whether the installer is launched using the command-line locale (-l) option:

•

If the installer is launched without using the command-line locale option, the default locale would be selected as the language for installation in the list of supported locales.

•

If the installer is launched using the command-line locale option (install.exe -l nn) and if the locale specified in this command is not supported, then the installer immediately launches in the language of the default locale. For example, suppose an installer was built for the locales of English, Arabic, and Chinese, with Arabic set as the default locale. If the user attempts to launch this installer using the command-line locale option to specify an unsupported language (such as entering install.exe -l ja to attempt to launch the installer in Japanese), the installer would automatically start in Arabic (the default locale).

Note • Avoid customizing the locale files of an InstallAnywhere project while that project is open in InstallAnywhere. InstallAnywhere may overwrite your manual changes to the locale file when you later save the open project.
