@eranif

Please check if it's ok now and merge it. Thanks.

@eranif

I add Czech/French/Japanese/Russian language to the installer.
For the Chinese (not included by default in Inno Setup) you should add and external .ISL file.

Please merge it and test new instalelr.

Please merge it and test new installer.

CI on msys provides the installer as artefact for easy testing.

[Jarod42]

Just tested the French version.

There is the custom message:

if MsgBox('Would you like to keep your user settings?'

which doesn't use the section CustomMessage.

See how-to-translate-texts-contained-in-msgbox-in-inno-setup.

@Jarod42

Where did you get (link) the new installer?
Thanks for explanation about MsgBox.

@eranif

I added in my PR the two custom messages strings about MsgBox commands with translation for English/French/Italian
For a better handling I created a separate Inno Setup script file with just languages and custom messages defintion.
In this way is better to maintain language and custom messages without touch main installer script.

If you can please merge the inno Setup script changes.

[eranif]

should this be fra ?

[bovirus]

Yes sure. Copy/paste error.

@eranif

Where did you get temporary installer build?

As artefact of the action build:

https://github.com/eranif/codelite/actions/workflows/msys2.yml

You might also activate them in your cloned repo; to test them before opening PR.

Ubuntu actions provide .pot for translations

[Jarod42]

The .in is for template for file generation (i.e in CMAke, configure_file(${CL_SRC_ROOT}/InnoSetup/codelite64_mingw.iss.in ${BUILD_DIRECTORY}/codelite64_mingw.iss) which replace placeholder as @CODELITE_VERSION@).

That localization file doesn't have placeholders to replace.

@Jarod42
I believe that when you run main ino Setup script it should load the other ones with language/custom emssages definition. Or we should change it in

#include "${CL_SRC_ROOT}/InnoSetup/codelite64_mingw.localization.iss.in"

@eranif
Is it the change to do?

[Jarod42]

I meant codelite64_mingw.localization.iss.in should be renamed into codelite64_mingw.localization.iss.
Local path looks better IMO but from https://github.com/eranif/codelite/actions/runs/23184910992/job/67369133019?pr=3872

So adjust include path or possibly use absolute path as you suggested.

This line should be changed into:

#include             "@CL_SRC_ROOT@/InnoSetup/codelite64_mingw.localization.iss.in"

During cmake stage the file codelite64_mingw.iss.in is going into a configure stage and all variables with @ around them are being replaced.

@eranif

PR updated.
Now should be OK.

[eranif]

Thanks @bovirus - I re-activated the workflows.

@eranif

I added Italian language
I created "it" subfolfer
I copied codelite.po
I modify cmake as explained.
But probably is not enough. Please check.

Installer creation error.
