- About InstallerMaker Languages
- © Copyright 1992-1994, Aladdin Systems, Inc.
- ==========================================
-
- November 15th, 1994
-
- Aladdin Systems currently provides InstallerMaker language modules for
- French, German, Spanish, Italian, Swedish and Japanese, and a template file
- containing the default English resources, called "English to Localize".
- You can build installers using these resources as you see fit. For best results,
- we do recommend that you check your installers using the system software
- of the appropriate country before you ship, to verify that your localized
- installers look as you want.
-
-
- Creating Installers For Other Languages:
- ====================================
-
- As this is being written, Aladdin Systems is at work on support files for a
- number of other languages. If you wish to localize your product installers
- in languages other than the six we now support, please contact Aladdin
- Systems Developer Technical Support, at (408) 761-6200, to see if the
- language you need is available.
-
- For localization languages that Aladdin cannot supply, you can create your
- own support files, by editing a copy of the "English to Localize" file with
- a suitable resource editor. You may distribute these modified installers
- under the same conditions as any other product installer, even if you don't
- notify us. We do encourage you to send modified files to us so we can
- correct problems with our current modules, and we also encourage you to
- make your custom language modules available for other developers to use.
- If you have modules you'd like us to make available to the developer
- community, just send them to us, and we'll post them on our on-line service
- forums. And for assistance in creating your own language modules using
- the template file, please contact Aladdin Systems Developer Technical
- Support. We have limited documentation available that can help you get
- your module complete and correct, and will supply it on request.
-
- Credits and Kudos
- ================
-
- Getting these modules together took a great deal of work from a number of
- people. We'd especially like to thank our European distributor, IONA,
- and our Japanese distributor, Seiwa, for detailed and careful work.
-
- In addition, we'd like to thank some of our customers, who gave us sample
- modules and very useful advice and feedback:
-
- For German: Alexander Ismail of Mark/Space Software for much of the work on
- the German module. In addition, we got invaluable input from Leonardo
- Burci, Thomas Gessl, and Andreas Schrader.
-
- For Spanish: Alberto Bachler, who donated his translation.
-
- For Italian: Marco Bargigia, who donated his translation.
-
- For Japanese: Thanks to Chuck Soper of Abacus Software for detailed testing
- and advice.
-
- We wish all of you the best of luck in your foreign sales and distribution,
- and would like to do what we can to help you succeed in these markets.
