InnoSetup Coding Language Detection

Hello All,

I have a probelm with the language detection on selcection of the language from the Language Dialog

[Languages]
Name: "en"; MessagesFile: "compiler:Default.isl"
Name: "ch"; MessagesFile: "Chinese.isl"

I get Chinese and English in the combo of the language selecion Dialog Box.
Now when I select English, My setup screens must use English text and When I select the Chinese Language it must use the Chinese Text.

How do I detect this Language Selection and program Accordingly.

Code:

---

if {language} = "en" then
        MsgBox('English')
else
        MsgBox('Chinese')
end else
end;

---

Its not working... I dont know InnoSetup Coding. Could you please help me with the Language Detection Probelm.

Regards,
Hemanth

Please explain why you would need to detect the language

A quick search of the Inno Setup Help Documentation shows:

ActiveLanguage

Prototype:
function ActiveLanguage: String;

Description:
Returns the name of the active language.

Can You tell me its Usage. I have 2 languages in the combo Box, English and Chinese, When I select English, I want all my subsequent Dialogs to use that Language based on the selection.

Why not try

Msgbox(ActiveLanguage)

No mate. You are getting me wrong. I just dont want to Show the Language to the User. Based on the Language I want to show different messages to the user.

Now I need a way to check from the selection of the USer as to which language he has chosen. Based on the selection I need to show a chinese message or an english in the subsequent setup dialogs

Well, if you can show the language chosen, you obviously can check for it...

Mate Please help me. I am using some other guy's Innosetup file. Just tweaking it a bit as it requires a change. I have no knowledge in it

randem is not doing all the work for you, but he is clearly helping you.

You have shown that you already know enough to run that test - and based on what it shows you should be able to work out how to use it in your original attempt.
