Missing translations

[Ansgar]

In the FileAssociationsDlg of my MSI installer, there are two buttons that are not translated, "Select All" and "Unselect All".
I have tried to attach a screenshot but it doesn't work, I always get an HTTP error.

Anyway, it seems like I cannot add a manual translation for these strings, as they do not show up in the translation tables?

Hello,

In order to achieve this, you can click on the Localization button for these two button controls in the Display Text field of the right Properties pane.

Here you can select the "Always translate this string" option.

Hope this helps! Let us know if you have any other questions.

Thanks for the answer Liviu, but I should have mentioned that I'm on a "Professional" License.
What you are suggesting involves Dialog Editing, which is, I believe, only available starting with the "Enterprise" edition.

I think that it's not too much to ask of the "Professional" version - arguably even the free one - to cover the translations of the most basic MSI dialogs by default.

Until then, is there any other workaround that doesn't require "Enterprise"?

Thanks and regards,
Ansgar

Hello Ansgar,

You are indeed right that there should have been an option for those two buttons as well.

For now, I'm afraid that there isn't a workaround for that.

However, please note I have added this on our TODO list of improvements and it will be available in a future version of Advanced Installer.

When that will happen, I will update this thread.

Thank you for your understanding!

Best regards,
Catalin
