Localization Issue for East Asian Languages - Dialogues text style & Strings are not
We have an InstallScript Multiple Instance Installer (created with IS2010 Premier Edition) and we are already supporting English, Spanish, Swedish, French, German and Portuguese Languages and the dialog text style & string translation is working fine
Now we have a requirement to support East Asian Languages like Chinese & Japanese for our installer. We are facing the following problems
1. Only few strings are converted to Japanese and the rest are in English (which is the default Language in the installer and on the development environment).
2. The dialogues text style is also varying, some dialogues are using MSSansSerif8 & some are MSUIGothic9. Then we tried changing the entire dialogues font to MSSansSerif8 but I am not able to convert “Preparing setup dialog”. So “Preparing setup dialog” looks different when compared to other dialogues.
Is there a way where can we set the text style globally & to convert the strings automatically. We are facing this issue only with East Asian Languages. For the remaining Languages it is working fine.
did you check this with a Japanese OS, or did you check it with an English OS with a multi language pack for Japanese. IIRC there is a different behaviour between these configurations.
