Installation - Languages page

The Tarma QuickInstall 2 Installation - Languages page has been renamed to Languages in InstallMate. Its purpose has remained the same; it defines the languages for the installer. However, there are also some important differences:

Item Tarma QuickInstall 2 InstallMate
Resource DLLs Prebuilt resource DLLs for each language, supplied by Tarma Software Research. Resources are generated on-the-fly when you build an installer.
Additional languages No additional languages available, unless you build your own resource DLL. You can add your own languages and translations for any language supported by Windows.
Localizable items No localization possible beyond the predefined resources in the DLLs. Virtually any user-visible text (and many that are not visible to the user) can be localized in the project itself.
Language selection Installer languages are selected on the Installation - Languages page. Installer languages are selected for each package separately on the Project overview project page.

InstallMate includes predefined translations for a number of commonly used languages, but your are no longer restricted to these languages. Furthermore, you can modify all translations to your own taste.
