site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com User-agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.18 (Macintosh/20081105) John Brisbin I am using PackageMaker v2 (in Tiger) and I'm trying to distribute our product internationally. For now, though, we only have English and French versions. We have the Welcome and License pages translated into French and I have an English.lproj and French.lproj folder in the Install_resources folder and those two lproj folders contain our Welcome, License and ReadMe (untranslated) files. When I run with an English locale, I get the English pages correctly and when I run in the French locale, I get the French pages correctly but when I run in Spanish (for example), I still get the French pages sometimes. If I last had the Mac set up for English (before switching to Spanish), I will get the English versions of the documents. At least, I think this is what's happening! I would like anyone running in any locale other than French to get the English pages. I thought I remembered reading that to get this behavior, I should put copies of the three documents at the Install_resources level (above English.lproj and French.lproj) in English. But when I do that, I only get the English versions of the documents no matter what langauge I set the Mac for. By the way, if I don't include the three documents at the Install_resources level, I get a non-fatal error - as if I should keep copies there. Can someone shed some light on this?

I, too, thought that the development language (typically English) would be the fallback if the user's primary language was not found. However, I see that, at least, for 10.5 the International preference language list is a true ordered list (as documented in Scott Meyers book). This means that the user can select the languages he might be able to use in any order he sees fit. Then the OS goes down the list looking for the first language supported by the software that appears in the language list. I am not sure that you can override this behavior. I am sure I would not want to, since it seems ideal. Jim Dodd wrote: _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
