SUF 6.0.0.1 bug: Still one progress screen not translated

[pit]

Entry in readme of SUF 6.0.0.1:

If you assign a new value to %SysLanguage% at run time, Setup Factory will automatically re-read the appropriate language file. This allows you to ask the user which language they want to use for the installation from a screen, or to change the language being used at any time during the setup.

While this works now with most items, there is still one of the progress screens displayed in the wrong language.

Which one, pit? (And which language?)

I was afraid someone would ask this. Well here is how it shows up:

My installer supports German (=default) and French. The user can select the installation language in the first screen, and that will set %SysLanguage% to either 7 or 12.

Now I run it on my german system, and choose french as installation language, so everything should be in french.

However one of the progress screens showing up has the german title Installationsvorgänge werden jetzt durchgeführt. It seems some of the messages on that screen are in french and some german, but I cannot tell the details because the screen is only displayed very short on my system.

Btw, it appears that also in the uninstall progress screen one single message (Removing Files) is allways in english, regardles what language you installed.

It may be that the screen that shows the actions directly after you set %SysLanguage% to something new would still show the "old" language because that is where the re-reading of the language file actually takes place. Is that possibly where you are seeing this? If so, there is nothing that can be done about that (the ole' chicken and the egg problem)...

No, there are 5 other screens before installation of the files starts, and all messages on those screens are correct dispayed in french.

The first progress screens (while installing the files) is also all in french. The one with mixed messages in german and french is displayed in the end phase of the installation task.

Maybe you should give it a try yourself.
