I have been using PackageMaker for a few years and it has worked well for what we needed. Now, we have changed our application to be available in two languages (more will follow) and I need to be able to load the appropriate manual and help files based on the language the customer is using.
The application itself is no problem because it is built with Resource Bundles and chooses the correct strings for dialogs and messages correctly. But we don't want to copy all the available manuals and help documents in each language to the customer's disk.We would just like to copy the French manual and French help if the user is running the Installer in French, for instance.
I'm familiar with PackageMaker allowing for ReadMe, License etc files in different languages to localize the Installer itself and the fact that InstallationCheck and VolumeCheck can have their strings in different languages that are chosen at runtime.. But is this information (which language is being used by the Installer) available for our preflight, postinstall and postupdate scripts?
Thank you,
