Multi-language setup programs are becoming more popular. To create a multi-language setup program can be a boring task if you do not have a tool that supports multi-language setup programs natively. VisualSetup was designed to create multi-language setup programs, so it includes all tools you need to define multi-language projects very easily.

 

The first step to create a multi-language project is to define the languages you will support using the Setup Languages editor. Then you must to define the files, shortcuts, registry's entries and INI's entries that are language-dependent. After defining that, you will need to translate the setup resources, messages and dialogs to support all languages you have defined in the Setup Languages editor.

Also, you must include in your setup project a wizard dialog to allow the end-user choose the language he/she wants, and this dialog must to be the first one in the wizard order. VisualSetup includes a dialog template named Select Language, that allows the end-user choose the setup's language.
