silent install / multilanguage
 

Hello,

I have to add silent install support to one of our intallers.
Our installer has multi language support.
How can I choose the language to install during a silent install ?
Maybe with an answer file ? But how ? The languages have IDs or should I check the name of the language ?

Thanks.

I don't think NSIS has a built in command line switch for specifying the language but it is straight forward to add one using GetParameters followed by GetOptions. For example:

code:


${If} ${Silent}

  ${GetParameters} $R0

  ${GetOptions} $R0 `/lang=` $LANGUAGE

${Else}

  .. display language selection

${EndIf}

If you don't want to specify locale id's you could specify language names (i.e. /lang=English) and you'd then need to:

code:


  ${GetParameters} $R0

  ${GetOptions} $R0 `/lang=` $R0

  ${If} $R0 == `English`

    StrCpy $LANGUAGE ${LANG_ENGLISH}

  ${ElseIf} $R0 == ...

    ...

  ${EndIf}

Thanks,
I will try it.
