SUF 6.0.0.0 bug: packages not translated

[pit]

My packages are defined in German and are localized in French.

When %SysLanguage% = 12, the the French package screens show up as expected, but the package names are displayed in German.

Germain is %SysLanguage% 7, not 12. 12 is French. There was an error on all German screens where the condition was incorrectly set to %SysLanguage% = 12 instead of 7. This will be fixed in the next release. But for now, just go into the German screens and change the condition appropriately.

I am aware of that. In fact I have 2 sets of screens in the same project:

German screens condition: %SysLanguage% = 7
French screens condition: %SysLanguage% = 12

The first screen in the project gives the user the choise to select the language (radio buttons screen) and will set %SysLanguage% to either 7 or 12.

When I run the setup on my (german) system and choose french as installation language, the french screens show up, but the package names are still german.

Hi Pit,

When you are creating your packages, are you localizing these package names and descriptions? Go to your package properties and click the LOCALIZE tab, and then the HELP button. This will give you a short explaination of this. If you want more information, you can look in the User's Guide. I believe that this is what is happening, although please correct me if I am wrong.

Re: SUF 6.0.0.0 bug: packages not translated

Actually, I was running some tests and found the problem. The problem was that in the code the language ID was being determined before the set of screens were shown and was not able to be edited (through settings %SysLanguage%) during that set of screens. So basically, if when the first set of screens was displayed, the %SysLanguage% was German, it would remain German when you got to the Select Packages screen even though you did change the value. I have fixed this in the code so that now the Select Packages screen will wait until the last possible second before determing which language to show. It will be fixed in the next release.

Seems now you have found the solution. Maybe this is the same problem as my other post concenring progress screens not translated.

Yes, we have also fixed that. In the next release, whenever %SysLanguage% is changed, the appropriate *.lng file will be re-read. This will have the effect that you want. Thank you for finding these issues and reporting them.
