If you are doing work in at least two languages, it depends, at least in my own experience. If it is just me, whatever, I understand what I am working with. If I am working with someone else, then this can change. I personally have switched the language on my own system to show something in a common language, but not bothered to switch the login language. Less time consuming. The products my company makes are used a lot in Education, so there definitely are multilingual situations there. BUT this sort of thing won't happen very much during install time. <endmuse> Yes, it works fine if I login in French. So it is probably as you say: a Finder artifact. I can't do much about it because it is the Authorization Framework. Still, I think it breaks the flow of things-I think that the application should show completely in one language once it starts running in that language. Thanks for the insight Neal and Greg. :) Lisa -----Original Message----- From: Greg Neagle [mailto:Greg.Neagle@disneyanimation.com] Sent: Monday, November 03, 2008 5:07 PM To: Lisa Weimer Cc: Installer-Dev mailing-list Subject: Re: how to get the authoriziation dialog to the localized version On Nov 3, 2008, at 3:35 PM, Lisa Weimer wrote:
So my install is running say in French. My system is in English, but I have used the International settings to bump the current language to French. (so finder menus are still English, but the installer is running in French).
The install is all localized and shows everything in the current language-- except the authorization dialog box that pops up, stating that the "Installer requires that you type your password". This is in English. How can I get it to be French like the rest of the Install??
You can't, but shouldn't worry about it. It the Authorization Framework that is displaying the authorization dialog box, and it is using the system localizations. If you were to try this experiment on a System that was actually running with French localizations, the authentication dialog would display in French. -Greg _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
