Editing Run-Time Text and Message Strings

InstallShield 2019 Express Edition

InstallShield provides you with complete control over all of the localizable strings displayed in your installation. You can customize everything from the text on the Next buttons to the descriptions of features.

The Text and Messages view in InstallShield lists all of the dialogs and messages that can be displayed during the installation process. If you click one of the dialogs in this view, you can see a sample screen shot of the dialog, as well as a string table that contains all of the text strings that belong to the dialog. Likewise, if you click a message in this view, you can see a sample message box and the string table with all of its associated strings. All run-time strings are accessible in this view.

Localization for international audiences is an important aspect of creating installations, and InstallShield enables you to export all of the run-time strings in your installation project to a text (.txt) file to ease translation. When you export the strings, they can be sent for translation in one common file type and can then be imported back into your installation project for a localized user interface.
