Title: Missing Language-Support
Post by: tcj on July 30, 2007, 05:43:45 AM
Hi,
 
it's me again  
 
The created script for my app does contain the followin english texts:
-----------------
   [Tasks]
  Name: quicklaunchicon; Description: Create a &Quick Launch Icon; GroupDescription: Additional Icons:
  Name: desktopicon; Description: Create a &Desktop Icon; GroupDescription: Additional Icons:
  [Run]
  Filename: {app}\MyApp.exe; Description: Launch MyAppName; Flags: nowait postinstall skipifsilent;   WorkingDir: {app}
---------------
 
The innosetup-languagefiles do contain support for these texts.
What about this version:
-------------------
   [Tasks]
  Name: quicklaunchicon; Description: {cm:CreateDesktopIcon}; GroupDescription: {cm:AdditionalIcons}:
  Name: desktopicon; Description: {cm:CreateDesktopIcon}; GroupDescription: {cm:AdditionalIcons}:
  [Run]
  Filename: {app}\MyApp.exe; Description: {cm:LaunchProgram, MyAppName)}; Flags: nowait postinstall skipifsilent;   WorkingDir: {app}
 
Would this be possible?
 
Thanks a lot,
Thomas

I am not following what you are stating. Are you saying that InnoScript should output the script lines as you have displayed them?
 
You can change those lines via the template.

sorry that I wasn't clear enough.
Yes, Innoscript should output the script lines as I have displayed it.  
Innosetup does support language-files, and the lack of language-file-support in Innoscript leads to a setup, that with mixed languages.
 
Is it a great deal to change this, or does it have any disadvantages?
 
You are right, I could override the lines using a template. But I am afraid of getting to a point where my template is nearly as big  
as the script innoscript outputs, thus questioning the use of innoscript.
Or do I have to understand innoscript as a tool to convert a VB-Project to an Innosetup-Script just once? And after this,
making only manual changes via istool and innosetup?
I thought about regularily re-creating/re-freshing my script with innoscript.
 
Have I already said this: Innoscript is a great tool in my opinion, especially for someone like me who has fought with pdw for years now.
 
btw: obviously my thread is no bug-report, I should have placed it in the wishlist-section. If you like, please move this thread.
 
Thanks,
Thomas
