Thanks! I found WixUI_ar-ar.wxl from Wix 2.0 version. But it seems need more work to do before it can be used in wix 3.0. Assume I have a translated WixUI_ar-ar.wxl file, then do you know what steps should I follow to make things work? Shall I compile a private build of Wix or edit codepage somewhere and how?

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to display right-to-left language like Arabic? I looked at that page: ar-ar is listed as only available in wix 2.0. You appear to be using 3.x (based on the namespace in your .wxl file). "open" means that the language is available for someone to supply the translation for that language but it isn't assigned yet because no one has yet stepped forward/been approved. You will probably have to take the WixUI_en-US.wxl file from the wix sources and translate it in its entirety to use ar-ar as a culture. -----Original Message----- From: Fan Zhang (UPG) [mailto:fanz...@microsoft.com] Sent: Monday, February 08, 2010 11:53 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: Re: [WiX-users] How to display right-to-left language like Arabic? Seems the attachment is not shown. I put the key part of my projects as below: In Product.wxs, it uses the localized string like this: .... <UI> <Dialog Id="InstallDlg" Width="370" Height="270" Title="[ProductName] [Setup]" NoMinimize="yes" RightToLeft="yes" > <Control Id="Title" Type="Text" X="15" Y="6" Width="200" Height="15" Transparent="yes" NoPrefix="yes"> <Text>!(loc.Title)</Text> </Control> .... Then the ar-ar.wxl is like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <WixLocalization Culture="ar-ar" Codepage="1256" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/localization";> <String Id="Title">~٠عالبل اغفييببب</String> </WixLocalization> Thanks, Fan -----Original Message----- From: Fan Zhang (UPG) [mailto:fanz...@microsoft.com] Sent: Monday, February 08, 2010 11:31 AM To: General discussion for Windows Installer XML toolset. Subject: [WiX-users] How to display right-to-left language like Arabic? Hi, I want the installer to display right to left languages like Arabic. I created a simple wix project with Wix 3.0.5419.0 RTM version and tried three different languages: en-us, hu-hu and ar-ar. Both en-us and hu-hu worked as expected. But when I ran command as below for ar-ar, light.exe -ext WixUIExtension -cultures:ar-ar -loc ar-ar.wxl -out Product.msi Product.wixobj I got an error message: Error 1 A string was provided with characters that are not available in the specified database code page '1256'. Either change these characters to ones that exist in the database's code page, or update the database's code page by modifying one of the following attributes: Product/@Codepage, Module/@Codepage, Patch/@Codepage, PatchCreation/@Codepage, or WixLocalization/@Codepage. D:\Projects\WixProject1\WixProject1\Product.wxs 64 1 WixProject1 I think ar-ar is one of the supported languages according to page http://www.tramontana.co.hu/wix/loc/index.php. Can you please help looking at where it goes wrong?
