Below there are the directions from Christian Stimming that I received when I wanted to do the same thing for Italian (I hope that they are still valid: developer please confirm):
>>> I would like to know if it's possible (and how) to translate the GnuCash >>> windows installer in Italian. >>> >> >> Sure. All settings related to the language(s) in the installer are >> controlled through the file packaging/win32/gnucash.iss.in . During >> "make ; make install" time, the file gnucash.iss will be created from >> that iss.in file, which in turn will be used as input for the Inno >> Setup program that creates the installer. >> >> In particular, the following settings will have to be added: >> >> - For the built-in messages of the Installer, in section [Languages] >> (line 220), add a line >> Name: "it" MessagesFile: "compiler:Languages\Italian.isl" >> >> - For the gnucash-specific messages in the Installer, copy&paste all >> lines in the [CustomMessages] section (line 232 and following) similar >> to the other languages: You will have to add one line beginning like >> "it.MessageNameFooBar" for each custom message and add your italian >> translation there. >> >> - One line has to be added for the CodePage in line 262, like so: >> it.LanguageCodePage=1252 >> >> - If you want to translate the "README" which is shown as last screen >> as well, you have to create a file like doc/README-de.win32-bin.txt >> but for "it", then add the appropriate installation rules in >> doc/Makefile.am, then add this file to the gnucash.iss.in line with >> the MessagesFile:"... Italian.isl", line 220, similar to the other >> languages.
