Setting the Run-Time Language

InstallShield 2020

Project:This information applies to InstallScript projects.

Edition:Multilingual support is available in InstallShield Premier Edition.

When you specify a language by using the following method, the One-Click Install installation runs in this language regardless of the default language specified in InstallShield or the default language of the target system. If you do not use this method, the One-Click Install installation determines the run-time language in the same way as any other installation.

Add set the run-time language:

1.

Add support for the language to your project:

a.

On the Project menu, click Settings. The Project Settings dialog box opens.

b.

Click the Languages tab.

c.

Select the check box for that language that your installation should target.

2.

Add that language to the release:

a.

On the Build menu, click Release Wizard.

b.

In the Setup Languages panel, select the appropriate language.

3.

On your Web page, before you call the Play method, call the SetProperty method to specify the appropriate language identifier.

For example, the language ID for English is 0009. To set English as the runtime language use the following code:

ether.SetProperty("is::CmdLine","-l0009");
