ProductLanguage Property

A package has a unique ProductLanguage code depending on the language selected from Translations > Language.

There are two ways Advanced Installer handles the ProductLanguage property depending on the package:

• Separate packages - each package will have their language, and the ProductLanguage property will be set automatically.
• Single multilingual package - the EXE wrapper will set the installer language depending on the system language, current language or language selection dialog.

Languages that don’t appear in the list are not yet localized in Advanced Installer. They can be accessed by selecting ‘All’ from the ‘Show’ drop-down, but you will have to add the localized strings yourself.
