Re: [WiX-users] multi-language bundle - A BIG THANKS
Hi Phil, Glad to help, and thanks for the suggestions. It does make sense to localize the theme itself, though I have not done so yet. Did you try it?

Re: [WiX-users] multi-language bundle - A BIG THANKS
Cool, thanks. If worst comes to worst, I'll just fire up Process Monitor again and watch the file system activity to see what files the bootstrapper is looking for (and not finding.) Somehow, that feels more fun than wading through source code.

Re: [WiX-users] My experiences making a multi-language bundle
Hi Tim, My original question was a little bit misguided -- there are no translations for the RtfLicense theme included with WiX 3.7. The translations are for a different them called mbapreq, which doesn't seem to have a license dialog. In the interest of saving someone a few minutes (perhaps me, in the future), here are the steps I used to get Japanese language support into my bootstrapper. 1) Copy a few files from the WiX 3.7 src\ext\BalExtension\wixstdba\Resources folder: RtfTheme.xml RtfTheme.wxl RtfLargeTheme.xml I dropped these files into a 'theme' folder in my burn project. 2) Create a couple of new files in my 'theme' folder: license.rtf logo.png 3) Create a sub-folder 'theme\1041' to hold my Japanese resources. In this folder, I have the following localized files: license.rtf RtfTheme.wxl This step is hard if you don't know Japanese. I don't, but I used google translate to get some pseudo-translations, and my localization team will eventually replace the strings with proper Japanese. 4) Put it all together in my bundle.wxs file: BootstrapperApplicationRef Id=WixStandardBootstrapperApplication.RtfLicense bal:WixStandardBootstrapperApplication LicenseFile=theme\license.rtf LogoFile=theme\logo.png SuppressOptionsUI=yes ThemeFile=theme\RtfLargeTheme.xml LocalizationFile=theme\RtfTheme.wxl/ Payload Id=theme_ja_jp Compressed=yes Name=1041\thm.wxl SourceFile=theme\1041\RtfTheme.wxl/ Payload Id=license_ja_jp Compressed=yes Name=1041\license.rtf SourceFile=theme\1041\license.rtf/ /BootstrapperApplicationRef Hope this helps, Alnoor -- View this message in context: http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/My-experiences-making-a-multi-language-bundle-tp7208949p7587768.html Sent from the wix-users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- Get your SQL database under version control now!

Re: [WiX-users] My experiences making a multi-language bundle
Hi again, One further detail: Note the theme in the payload is named 'thm.wxl'. This is important! The bootstrapper only uses translations if they are in a file with this name.

Re: [WiX-users] My experiences making a multi-language bundle
Hi, Great post! How does this change in WiX 3.7? I downloaded the WiX 3.7 source and noticed that the wixstdba folder now contains localized resources for a number of languages. When creating a bundle: Is there a shortcut to reference these localized themes, or do I have to copy them to my own project and reference them, as in WiX 3.6?
