Localization of wyUpdate [how it selects the language]

I have a question. I purchased a license of your software because of your localization. However, I am not sure how it works. How does your application decide when to change language? I was changing the regional settings and that did not change language. Could you please let me know how the wybuild and the wyUpudate determines what language to use when it starts?

Thanks,

Ken

Hey Ken,

That's a great question. First you have to click the check mark next to any languages you want to include with wyUpdate. Then build wyUpdate.

Then what happens is when wyUpdate starts it scans the "CurrentUICulture" of Windows and compares it against the included list of languages. If the culture code (e.g. "de-DE") matches, it uses that language.

Read up on changing the current UI culture.

Tell me if this helps.

Thanks for the quick response.

We are allowing users to change ui language in our application. A request from a few of our customers. Can I tell the updater to load in a specific language?

We could add the ability to override the language selection, but it just adds unnecessary complexity.

Why would the user need this? Are your customers running a localization of Windows that they don't read?

Yes that seems to be a problem with some of our European customers. Is there a way I can work around this? Could I make the the autoupdate silent or so it doesn't show the dialog?

You mean when wyUpdate runs? No.

If you absolutely need this we could add it in wyUpdate 2.6.6 or 2.6.7. Would the ability to override the selected culture using a commandline switch work for you? (E.g. wyUpdate.exe -forcelang="de-DE" )?

Yes that would work great. If you could do that. We call the exe from our application menu. What would be the expected launch date for 2.6.6 or 2.6.7?

We have some bugfixes for the AutomaticUpdater that we want to push out next week. We'll include this change to wyUpdate with that.

Tentatively, I'll say August 27th (assuming we can get all the bugfixes written/tested by then).

That would be perfect. We have a global launch Sept 10 to our European customers.

Do you have an update on when this will be launched? Thanks!

The reason we've delayed this is we're fixing a critical bug in wyUpdate and the AutomaticUpdater. We should have a release tomorrow or Saturday.

Thanks for the update! Good luck with the build!

wyBuild 2.6.6 is now out. This has been added to wyUpdate. Here's an example:

wyUpdate.exe -forcelang="de-DE"
