Selecting the Target Languages
InstallShield 2024 » Globalization Tutorial » Step 2
The first step in creating a global installation is to select the languages that you want to target. For this tutorial, you will add two languages to your installation project: German and Polish.
To add languages to your project:
| 1. | In the View List under Installation Information, click General Information. |
| 2. | In the Setup Languages setting, click the ellipsis button (...). The Setup Languages dialog box opens. |
| 3. | Select the English (United States), German, and Polish check boxes. |
InstallShield adds string entries for English, German, and Polish to your project. Each string entry consists of a language-independent identifier and a corresponding language-specific value. The string entries include the built-in user-interface string resources that are already translated. To view all of the string entries, you can use the String Editor view. (In the View List under User Interface, click String Editor.)
Every time that you add a new string entry to your default language, a parallel entry is made to the string entries for all of the other languages that are in your project.
