Re: How to localize distribution package's requirements message
site_archiver@lists.apple.com Delivered-To: installer-dev@lists.apple.com After building my installer I have this package structure within it: MyInstaller.mpkg Contents distribution.dist Packages MyPackage.pkg Resources en.lproj background.psd Localizable.strings fr.lproj background.psd Localizable.strings (... etc for other languages) Have I misunderstood the mechanism? Thanks. -- Ben.

Thanks for the answer. I'm very happy to create a Localizable.strings file if this is what it takes, but I can't get it to work. All I get are the string keys ("MY_KEY_TITLE" etc) appearing in the alert. I used en/fr.lproj instead of English/French.lproj because that was already there in the package from adding my other localized files via the GUI. However, I have tried using English/French.lproj instead, but no difference. My localizable.string files are UTF-16. Does anyone know how to provide localizations for the messages displayed by the Requirements elements of a distribution package? (This is using PackageMaker.) I am adding a requirement, if Result of Script then <Failure Message>, and I can't see any way to enter text other than in English. I have created localized Resource folders in the package using the Edit Interface button, but I don't think that's relevant. After building the .mpkg, it contains this in the distribution.dist file: so there doesn't appear to be any language parameter being used. For the record, you can't do this from PackageMaker. You will need to edit the built package. One solution is to use keys for the title and message and then provide standard Localizable.strings file for each localization.
