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.
