Built-in InstallShield string translations
Hello folks,
I have InstallShield 2021 InstallScript MSI project. I have chosen support for some languages like Japanese, Spanish, Chinese, etc. in 'Installation Localization' in Project Assistant, in 'Select Languages' in General Information View, in 'UI Languages' in Releases view.
But when I look at the string editor, built in dialog strings such as below do not show up translated. They are in English. How to get built-in translations? Appreciate any help.
English (United States) IDS__DialogId_10201_ControlId_50 Choose Destination Location
Chinese (Traditional): 中文(繁體) IDS__DialogId_10201_ControlId_50 Choose Destination Location
Japanese: 日本語 IDS__DialogId_10201_ControlId_50 Choose Destination Location
Spanish: español IDS__DialogId_10201_ControlId_50 Choose Destination Location
English (United States) IDS__DialogId_10201_ControlId_51 Select folder where setup will install files.
Chinese (Traditional): 中文(繁體) IDS__DialogId_10201_ControlId_51 Select folder where setup will install files.
Japanese: 日本語 IDS__DialogId_10201_ControlId_51 Select folder where setup will install files.
Spanish: español IDS__DialogId_10201_ControlId_51 Select folder where setup will install files.
thanks in advance.

Hi @agshah
If you have edited this specific dialog and modified the any string in that dialog (meaning any custom new text added in dialogs), then we need to manually translate those specific strings in string editor for each language added.
Please translate that specific strings and try rebuild the project.

thanks Varul.
I had added/modified some text in the dialog. But lot of other strings in the dialog are not touched. For example, dialog title, desc, etc. So how can I keep the InstallShield translations for these strings that I have not touched. Is there some InstallShield library or something from where I can import them?
thanks.

appreciate any input. So that I don't have to translate strings that are not changed.
