Hello, I'm sorry in advance if this is a frequent topic, but I'm wondering if there were any localization best practices.
I recently started using WiX, and built two setup projects both of them were for en-US and ja-JP. I originally tried to follow the WiX documentations and pages I found on the web; set "Cultures to build" to "en-US;ja-JP", but it didn't work for me due to the issues below. 1. I couldn't find how to replace EULA document in the WiXUI using the localization feature in the WiX v3. 2. en-US resources are built into the main assemblies, and I needed to copy satellite assemblies for ja-JP MSI only. As far as I understand, current WiX localization occurs at link level and this kind of localization (putting different files for different culture) cannot be achieved. 3. One of my projects require to put different data files for different culture. As mentioned above, I couldn't find how to do it. 4. I use bootstrapper as described in WiX v3 documents. The bootstrappers need to be built for each culture. To solve these issues, I came up with the idea to create a configuration for each culture I want to localize, and define "Culture" preprocessor variable for each configuration. My project ended up with "Debug", "Release", and "Release-ja-JP" configurations. This idea solved all of my problems and those projects were done for me, but I started wondering, since I believe these issues are not so specific, what solutions you guys in this ML are taking to resolve these localization issues. If you have any better or different idea than mine to solve localization issues, will you mind to share them? As I said, I'm pretty new to WiX, I wish to learn better solutions. I also believe it will help a lot of people reading this ML, or on the web. Thank you for your help in advance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Register Now for Creativity and Technology (CaT), June 3rd, NYC.
