Languages

The languages item details the languages provided within the SIS file. It is a comma separated list of language identifiers, always starting with an ampersand character. It takes the form:

&lang-code [(dialect-ID)], lang-code [(dialect-ID)], ...

where lang-code can be any of the two character languages abbreviations defined in this table. Dialects can be optionally added as a number, defined by the licensee, in parentheses after a lang-code.

For example:

&EN,FR,ZU(1024)

In the following item types, the number of text strings should match the number of languages specified in the languages item:

• package-header

• options-list

• install-file

• dependency

In the example PKG file below, three languages are listed in the languages item: English, French, and Zulu. In the package header item, three names are given one for each language. Also, in the install file item, three text files are given one for each language.

&EN,FR,ZU(1024)

#{"MyApp-EN", "MyApp-FR", "MyApp-ZU"}, (0x1000001F), 1, 2, 3, TYPE=SA

"language.pkg"-"",FT,TC
{"text\englishfile.txt" "text\frenchfile.txt" "text\zulufile.txt"} - "C:\Documents\file.txt"

The languages item must be followed by the package header item.
