Randem Systems Support Board

Yes, That's right. InnoScript will be able to be in different languages. If you would like to help with this effort in converting the default InnoScript message file to a language of your choice. Let us know so that we can include it in the next release.
 
Here is the English version of the message file. Just copy it and rename it to the language you are going to convert to then open it and convert the items on the right side of the equal (=) sign.
 
We will soon release a version of InnoScript that can read your file and transform InnoScript into the language in the file you converted.
 
We hope you will share your conversion with us for future releases...
 
Language Pack - English (https://randemsystems.com/scripts/downloadit.php?filename=LanguagePack.zip)
 
Convert this file and post the converted file and we will get that into the next Major Release of InnoScript.
 
Create the language pack and drop it in the languages folder  
(\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\Randem Systems\InnoScript\Languages\)
That's all to it!!! You should also put it in the  
(\Program Files\Randem Systems\InnoScript\Languages\) folder for a backup.
 

Hi,
 
Let me take care of the French version...I'll get back to you asap
 
Philippe

Here's the first pass for the french language...Pls check it against your beta to verify text length (french always takes more space than english...) and let me know...
 
Once size fits, I'll check it's valid on a pristine version 9 install
 
Philippe

I will take a look and compare it to our French Version to see the differences. Did you modify our French version or convert the English version?

Phillipe,
 
Your language conversion has been posted on the InnoScript Beta page for user download.
 
Thanks.

Hi,
 
I took the english file and started from scratch...Didn't finad a french file...
 
Philippe

Did you download the 9.0 Beta version?

Yes, and I am currently tweaking the file to make it fit better (buttons and all)

Did you download the update 9.0.1. I know it handles the buttons better for resolutions higher than 1024x768. Try it for your resolution.

OK...
Got it a bit better now...
 
Two comments:
 
- Could you pls make buttons a bit larger and wider (10px maybe) on Shared Files screen (Exit and Delete) and more generally on many of these buttons? It won't fit well for many languages (German, spanish etc...) or reduce font size and keeping them regular instead of bold?
 
- I would put the About box under the Help menu and not separate at the end...
 
Uploading the new french file
 
Phil

Ok, Download new 9.0 Build 2 Beta for the changes.

Coool...
Almost there....
 
One button from the toolbar can't still make it..Tried some shorter text but it won't work:  
Could you make the 'Unsafe Files' button the same size as 'Subscribe Updates'??
 
I'm also adding the text for the pre-post install info files...
 
BTW: Windows conventions would like that Help is the last menu...Can you move Language before Help?
 
Picky, picky

Ok, I have updated the beta version again also I have extented the Language file to include Tool Tips. If you could convert these I will add them to the installation also.
 
All the tool tips have .ToolTipText in the name.

Looks like the one I have 9.0.3 does not reload tooltips...Noticed one thing: its' called ToolText instead of TooltipText...Is this normal?
 
Phil
 
File attached

Hi,
 
Looks like a bunch of tooltips are not read and it always defaults to a default file which is wrong.
Also the tooltips from the first 4 toolbar buttons never get changed...

Yes, that is a typo. All the ToolText items should be ToolTipText. If you change them they will be read in.
 
I am updating my files...

Well...Suspected it...I did but still see no change and no reload....

They work here make sure you have version 9.0.4 Beta.

BTW: They only get loaded on the initial load of the window.

OK...Uninstalled and reinstalled and they now show up...
 
3 other things:
 
1. They do not display in french on the Parameters screen (see shot)
2 - I am updating the Pre and Post install text of your install package
3 - Changed the color of tab text and it only changes if you hide and restore the window...The SSTab seems to need a refresh after changing the text color
 
Phil

OOops! Here's the shot....(https://randemsystems.support/discus/messages/12/8762.jpg)

I seemed to overlook The textbox control for tool tips (working on that now). The controls take a few seconds to refresh themselves due to the subclassing. I have looked at that but have found no solution as of yet.

Maybe sending a forced WM_PAINT?

If you are updating the pre and post text in the Languages folder. Don't they should not have been deployed.

I will look into the Forced WM_PAINT...

Here are the pre and post text for YOUR install package, although I am not 100% sure of what I write, since I don't have the english text and that your autotranslator is...well...you know...

Download the Language Pack the Pre and Post text are there in english.
 
Well, my French is as good as my German...

Version 9.0.5 Beta is uploading now. If you have Automatic Updates turned on you will get it the next time you start InnoScript.

It's finished uploading.

Man, you got it right!!
 
Looks okay, as far as I can see...I'll dig a bit more into it later...Will let you get some sleep now...
 
Uploading what I would consider as my final version of french.isl...
 
Thanks
 
PS: your french is probably better than my Polynesian...Been there couple times but was unable to get one word

Thanks for all your efforts in making this product better. It has been greatly appreciated.
 
PS: You think the Hawaiian language is tough try the local language Pidgin http://www.e-hawaii.com/fun/pidgin/showTerm.asp?letter=T (http://www.e-hawaii.com/fun/pidgin/showTerm.asp?letter=T)

Hi,
 
A little one I found this morning: missing localized tooltips on the very right of the screen (Manifests etc...) There is no tooltip text associated with them in the language file (Label 12 etc...)
 
See shot...Looks like we forgot these...
 
(https://randemsystems.support/discus/messages/12/8776.jpg)

Ok, Here are the missing elements for the [frmInnoScript] Section
 
chkInternalInstalls.ToolTipText=Add Installations Internally
chkManifest.ToolTipText=Add XP Themes Manifest
chkIncludeURL.ToolTipText=Add Program URL
chkRegistry.ToolTipText=Add Admin Request Registry Entry
cboServicePack.ToolTipText=NT Service Pack level. Leave blank for none.
chkScriptingRuntime.ToolTipText=Add Scripting Runtime Library
chkDotNetFramework.ToolTipText=Add .Net Framework
cboInnoSetupFile.ToolTipText=Enter path and filename of where you want the Inno Setup Script to be written to.
cboPDWFile.ToolTipText=Enter path and filename of where to find the Setup.lst file that the Package and Deployment Wizard created for your VB Project.
cboVB6Runtime.ToolTipText=Path to where the VB Runtime Files are located.

Well...Kinda sort of...
The last frame (Manifests and other checkboxes still doesn't display them...Do you read them with the current version or do I have to update it?

Also: as far as dropdown lists, I would also use type 2 dropdowns for OS Updater and Crystal Reports to prevent users to type in the list which you don't want, do you?

Ok, there is a error in the processing of the checkbox. Looking into it.
 
I will lock the combobox.

Ok, Here are the corrrect entries
 
[frmInnoScript]
 
chkInternalInstalls=Add Internal Installs
chkInternalInstalls.ToolTipText=Add Installations Internal
chkManifest(1)=Admin Request
chkManifest(1).ToolTipText=Add Admin Request Manifest
chkManifest(0)=XP Themes
chkManifest(0).ToolTipText=Add XP Themes Manifest
chkIncludeURL=Include URL Links
chkIncludeURL.ToolTipText=Include URL Links
chkRegistry(0)=Vista Admin Request
chkRegistry(0).ToolTipText=Add Admin Request Registry Entry

OK...Works...
 
Here's the updated french language file...
While I'm at this, your OWN installer pre-info text file which contains red text has not been updated and the text is kinda strange...See the one I attached a few posts below (pre-post files)
 
Phil

I updated it. I missed it somehow. Must have been in need of sleep then

Just a note:
 
On future versions the language files will be read from the Local APPDATA folder
 
Basically  
 
C:Documents and SettingsYourUserNameLocal SettingsApplication DataRandem SystemsInnoScriptLanguages
 
A copy of the language files will still be under the installation folder.

Makes sense!

Hi again...It's been a while...Just downloaded the 9.3 update...
Just a little detail: did you add the Other button label to the language def file? Can't seem to find it...Wanted to translate it and resend you the updated file...
 
Just in case you want to do it, I guess it should be as follows (assuming it's cmdOptionProcess(4):
 
cmdOptionProcess(4)=Autres
 
Thanks
 
Philippe

BTW, looks like your forum has a problem: here's how it looks like in IE7 when getting to the General Questions section. Looks perfect with FF 3.x... (https://randemsystems.support/discus/messages/12/9372.jpg)

Good catch on the language, I will change it. I will look at the Support Board in IE7...

Hi again...No sweat: everything's just fine...Was just getting back to the weird display I posted earlier this week where IE7 and now FF3.x do truncate: I guess I found what the problem is: if you get to the forum board by clicking on the link on https://randemsystems.com/innoscript// (https://randemsystems.com/innoscript//), THEN the page is truncated...Now, if you copy the link and paste it in your browser, it DOES work!!! Looks like some garbage appears on the page which messes up the rest...Might need some cleanup :-)
 
Wanted to post a little note about a missing translation on the Unsafe Files button tooltip text...It doesn't show in the language file so I can't translate it either...If you want I can send you the translated sentence or if you come up with a new language file including it, just let me know...
 
Best regards
 
Philippe
 
PS: might be coming on vacation to Kauai mid march...Maybe I'll stop in Lahaina....

Here is the missing info
 
cmdViewUnsafeFiles.ToolTipText=View/Modify unsafe files that will be removed from script
 
Vacationing in Kauai? If you stop by Lahaina I will be here, somewhere...

OK...Modified my french file but doesn't seem to read it...Is it active in 9.3.0?
Actually, we'll rather come mid april to Kauai (Poipu Beach)
 
Phil

Yes, it works. There is a technique to changing the language. Try changing the language to another language and changing it back to French. You will then see the change.
 
PS: I will still be here

Nope...Tried this..Doesn't change...Just to be sure: is, as I guess it is,  cmdViewUnsafeFiles.ToolTipText located in the frmBackground section?
 
Phil

Ok, then the problem is where you changed it. You probably changed the original files in the Program Files folder instead of the ones in the Application Data folder...

True!!
 
Am I blind

Works ok...Thanks and sorry about this...
Phil

Hey not a problem, I sometimes even get confused...
