$language ... not working correctly?

TobWen · 21st November 2004, 04:30

Hi,

might it be that $language is not working correctly?

I'm on a German Windows (1031), but $language always returns "1033" (English Windows).

Is this a known bug or is there a work-around?

Best,
Tobias

this is the language used in the installer, not the language of the OS

TobWen · 21st November 2004, 06:17

mmh ok :-(

is there a variable for the language-ID of the OS?

Here, or here

Yep, I already have used SEARCH, but these are non working!

I need the ID (like 1033 = english or 1031 = german) not the codepage like 403 or 407.

well...I think you'll have to code a little bit

but I think, this should be a basic-function for any programming-language:

$language and $os_language

Indeed most programming languages would have that functionality. NSIS is not a programming language but the features you're looking for could be created by adding scripting functions for such functionality.

Okay, you are right ... sorry. But could anybody help me creating these subfunctions?
