Q: How to change language of a program

Hi,
I have written an application in German, i.e. the user interface and all message texts are in German. I developed the app with the German edition of VB5. This implies, that for instance, the FileSelectionDialog is in German as well as other standard dialogs. Also the Installation Wizard has a German interface.

So everything is fine for the German version of my program.

However, I am now in the process of changing my app, so that it can be regarded as an English version. So besides message texts and the user interface of the program, I have to take into account, that the standard dialogs will remain in German, as long as there will not be - by chance - the corresponding English OCX'es and DLL's on the system, that runs my program. Furthermore, with my German VB5, I don't see a way how to create an English setup.

Does someone have an idea, how I could cope with this?

Thanks

check out MS site!
Only a few weeks ago they have released an internationalized version of the PDWizard (I don't remember the name of the tool).
it might work only with VB 6 programs.
Also consider using Visual Studio Installer also available for free from MS site.
it allows you to create your own UI for your setup program.

Viel Glück!

OK, the name of that "thing" is IPDK (probably "International Package and Deployment Kit")
