[Solved] Is there a way to change the default language for installer framework?

[koahnig]

I do not want to use the OS default language for the installer framework. I prefer to start always in English. How can I change this?

Hi,

Unless I'm mistaken, it's described at the bottom of the page here

Hope it helps

Yes, you are right. Was not really obvious to me.

Here is an updated version of the config.xml of the online example of installer framework

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Installer>
    <Name>Online Installer Example</Name>
    <Version>1.0.0</Version>
    <Title>Online Installer Example</Title>
    <Publisher>The Qt Company</Publisher>
    <!-- Directory name is used in component.xml -->
    <StartMenuDir>Qt IFW Examples</StartMenuDir>
    <TargetDir>@HomeDir@/IfwExamples/online</TargetDir>
    <!-- Change required to have English as startup language e.g. when you have an OS with German as standard language  -->
    <Translations>
        <Translation>en.qm</Translation>
    </Translations>
    <!-- End of change for translation -->
    <RemoteRepositories>
        <Repository>
            <Url>http://localhost/repository</Url>
        </Repository>
    </RemoteRepositories>
</Installer>

The installer starts then with all text in English. Tested on Windows 7 64bit with German as local language.
