Processes for Adding Language Support

WiseScript Package Editor Reference
pre-translated languages, you can add it to the Languages page and add translated text
for that language. Then you can add support for the new language to the installation.
Example: You want to translate an installation into Swiss French. However, that
language is not one of the pre-translated languages. You can add Swiss French to the
Languages page and add Swiss French text strings to the installation. Then, you can
compile an installation that displays Swiss French on all installation messages and dialog
boxes.
Double-Byte Languages
Some languages (example: Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) require double-byte
character sets, in which each character is represented by two bytes.
WiseScript Package Editor supports double-byte languages. However, if you add support
for a double-byte language, do not add any other languages. Including double-byte and
single-byte languages in the same installation can cause distortion of the fonts for the
single-byte languages. If you need both single and double-byte installations, make a
copy of the installation and include the double-byte languages in the copy.
