STRING.TAB selection
« on: May 02, 2007, 06:58:37 PM »

Hello,

When a game is started appears a Setting Window with many aptions. Is there a method to select different string.tab before Settings Window appears?

The recommended way is using some kind of game launcher, which copies a localization package to game directory. You'd have several language packages containing localized resources for each language (especially the string table), and the launcher would allow the player to choose language and copy the appropriate package. Check games like Dead City or Five magical amulets - they're using this approach.

Alternatively, you can let your game's installer to do the job.

Yup, InnoSetup allows you to make multilingual installers easily, and to bind some features to specific languages.
