Editing Language-Specific String Entries
InstallShield 2024 » Globalization Tutorial » Step 3
The next step is to edit string entries in your installation project. You will edit string entries for three different settings: The feature’s display name, the shortcut’s display name, and the shortcut’s description. (The shortcut’s description will be created as part of the next step in this tutorial.)
Feature Display Name
To provide a display name for a feature:
| 1. | In the View List under Organization, click Setup Design. |
| 2. | In the Setup Design explorer, click ProgramFiles. |
| 3. | In the Display Name setting in the right pane, enter Program Files if it is not already there. |
If you click anywhere else within the Setup Design view, you will see that the text that you entered has been preceded by a string identifier, which is enclosed within curly brackets ({}). You can view all of your project’s string entries by clicking the ellipsis button (...) that is displayed when you click the Display Name setting.
Shortcut Display Name
To add a display name for the shortcut:
| 1. | In the Setup Design explorer, expand the ProgramFiles feature, and then expand the Program_Executables component. |
The component Program_Executables contains a shortcut to the file Othello.exe.
| 2. | Click the Shortcuts icon under the Program_Executables component. |
| 3. | In the Shortcuts explorer, click the Othello shortcut. InstallShield displays the shortcut’s settings in the right pane. |
Currently, the Display Name setting is set to Othello. The value is preceded by a string identifier, which is enclosed within curly brackets ({}).
| 4. | To change the display name, enter the new name in the Display Name setting. |
