Hi, I have seen a few unanswered threads on this subject, I was hoping someone might know the answer...
What does it take to have an installer run in Japanese on an English OS?
I'm using IA 8.0 Enterprise. When I create an installer with Eng+Jpn languages, for example, and then run the installer on Windows, I can only see the English option in the language panel that appears as the installer starts.
However, if I run the same installer on a Japanese OS, I see both languages in the language panel and I can select either one to have the installer run in the correct language.
I have a multi language JDK installed.
The "asian languages" option is checked in Windows' Regional Settings in Control Panel, just in case.
I have added a Japanese input handler in Windows' Regional Settings in Control Panel, just in case.
I have an Arial Unicode TTF font installed, and other apps like Word, Internet Explorer and simple Java Swing apps are all able to display Japanese content.
I tried selecting all languages in the installer. When I run it like this on my English OS, I see about a third of all the languages I selected. Seems like it only shows the list of latin-based languages or something like that.
anyone has an idea how to have an installer run in Japanese on an English OS???
As far as I know, the locale detection works in IA only if the OS is Japanese for instance (so you won't be able to install Japanes on English, for instance).
Well, the only think I might suggest would be to try a more recent IA version to see if the issue is reproduced... Also, starting with IA 2009 SP1 there is a Japanese localized version of IA...
