Making an Existing Property Localizable

Project:This information applies to the following project types:

•

Basic MSI

•

DIM

•

InstallScript MSI

•

Merge Module

If you want a property that can have different values based on the language that your installation uses, you can make that property localizable.

To make a property localizable:

1.

In the View List under Behavior and Logic, click Property Manager.

2.

Select one or more properties that you want to localize.

To select multiple consecutive properties, select the first property, press and hold SHIFT, and select the last property. To select multiple nonconsecutive properties, select the first property, press and hold CTRL, and select each additional property.

3.

Click the Make Selected Properties Localizable button.

InstallShield adds a new string identifier in the Value column for that property.

Tip:You can use the String Editor view to set a different property value for each language that your project supports.

To learn how string identifiers and values are used in projects, see Using String Entries in InstallShield.
