Crotian language support modules

[sgeorge]

We have purchased the Setup factory software for our organization "Clearpath Networks", and I am using this
software to make the windows setup executable.

We have seen that only some of the language supports are installed by default with
the Setup factory application.

But we need to add the support of the croatian language in our setup application.
While try to add this language, we see that though this language is supported by
Indigo rose, this is not installed by default.

Hence I would like to request you to send us the croatian language support xml
file to add its support.

Thank you.

All available languages are bundled in the installer. You can, however, add any of the missing languages yourself, if you have somebody who could translate the messages and the screens. Finally, if you provide these translations, they can be added to the distribution.

Language Support Crotian

The language support I am looking for is Croatian. I can add the croatian language support. But when I browsed through the languages installation folder I don't see the Croatian.xml, but can see others like English, French, etc.

I also see the languages installed along with the software are with the * symbol when I select the Add new language support. For croatian, it is not having the * symbol, hence when included, it shows the message as "default to English" message.

I referred to the documents, that says the languages doesn't have the * is not installed along with the package, and can be requested.

I have attached the screenshots of the Add new language screen and languages screen for your reference.

As only the croatian language shows it defaults to the default language, which is English, all other language supports like De, Fr and En are working fine.

Please read Chapter 7 in the User Guide, where it is explained how you can add a new language to Setup Factory. If you want to provide a localized installer in Croatian, you first need to translate the language file and the screens you are using. As I mentioned, all available languages are already included in the installer, and there are no extra language files which can be requested at this time.

I referred to the documents, that says the languages doesn't have the * is not installed along with the package, and can be requested.

Could you please tell me where you found this information?

I have included a quote from the page "http://www.indigorose.com/webhelp/suf9/Users_Guide/Chapter_7_Languages.htm"

Getting Additional Language Files

If you need a language file that is not shipped with Setup Factory, please visit the Indigo Rose Web site (www.indigorose.com) and user forums (www.indigorose.com/forums/) where new language files are made available from time to time.

Let me reiterate my understanding on the problem: We need to support the Croatian language in our executable. We have purchased the software a month back from now, and installed into my PC. I can see 25 languages under my languages folder of the SUF installation. There is a language_map file, in which I can see the entry as given below:

<Language>
<Name>Croatian</Name>
<Primary>26</Primary>
<Secondary>
<ID>1</ID>
<ID>4</ID>
</Secondary>
</Language>

As the Croatian.xml file is not available under languages folder, the support for the language is not available. Hence we have to make the arrangements to translate the Croatian language and include it based on the guidelines.

Am I right?

Yes, this is correct. Setup Factory is prepared to use Croatian, but somebody needs to do the translation first. This means that one language file, and 32 screens need to be localized, for full support of the language.

Appreciate your quick response.

Thanks.

We are trying to add the Croatian language support for our installer files. I tried to copy certain Croatian string in the window edit option of the "Croatian" language section. Looks like the SUF is not recognizing some of the characters. For ex; čarobnjak. When I pasted this line in the window->edit language section. It is pasting as I copied. But closing the window after saving it and opening it again makes this string as "carobnjak".

Please advise how can we add these Croatian strings. Should we need to do something additional?

[Ulrich]

You need to make use that you are using ANSI encoding for your translations, instead of pasting Unicode strings. I believe Windows-1250 encoding should work fine for Croatian.

Ulrich

[sgeorge]

Thanks Ulrich for your response.

I am sorry, Can you please little elaborate on how to change the encoding to Unicode instead of the current ANSI format?

Is there any setting or any way I can make this work to display the unicode strings in the setup installer using the SUF?

[Ulrich]

You understood it backwards. Setup Factory cannot display Unicode, and for this reason all texts must be ANSI encoded. If you paste text into the dialogs, you need to make sure that they are ANSI, not Unicode, or they won't display properly.

If you create a text file with your Unicode strings, you can change the encoding to Windows-1250, and transliterate the characters properly, using a good text editor. Then paste the Windows-1250 encoded text into the project, or use it to create a new language XML file as explained in the docs.

Ulrich

[sgeorge]

Can you please post the ANSI - Windows-1250 equivalent encoding for the unicode preporučeno?

[sgeorge]

Followed your explanation above and resolved the issue.

Thanks.

Hi,

I have resolved localization in Windows by providing the ANSI encoded strings instead of unicode strings.

I need to localize the Button text in the Dialog Message box. Please advise how it can be done?
