I just wanted to report that the following issue wasn't fixed in v4.11.4 and v4.11.5:

I passed a link to your thread to Shane but didn't get a reply.

You can still select your language after installation - perhaps Shane considers that is all that is necessary.

The problem is that the installer is always forced in my italian language, no matter if I set english language after installation.
It could be annoying for other users that don't know what to do with those checkboxes with labels set as Opzione1 and Opzione2.

I haven't seen Opzione1 and Opzione2.

Mine defaults to English as I'm in the UK but I changed the language to Italian and it immediately changed to that language and stayed there.

Have you tried reinstalling the program ?

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it didn't work.

I have asked Shane to reply in the thread but not sure when the reply will come as I also linked another thread for him to look at.

Hopefully he will be looking at both but if I don't see or get a reply in a week, I'll email him again.

He is very busy as he also has a computer repair business to run.

I've tested 4.11.6 released today, and I can confirm the bug on this version too.

Post by: Boggin on August 12, 2021, 01:36:05 pm
This is Shane's reply -

 I don?t seem to have anything to check and autoset the language, but the setting for it is in the settings.ini file in the program folder, also he should be able to simply change it on the main window of the program.

 I've emailed Shane again explaining that it's auto resetting back from English to Italian.

This is Shane's reply to my last email - can you post that pic ?

That is extremely odd, unless there is a problem with how the program is trying to set the combo box. But I don't see why it could. But something is happening for it to be auto set like that. As you seen from the code I sent it sets the drop down via text and not by index. I wonder if his system his changing the way the text is being shown, that would explain it.
Can you get screenshots from him showing the drop down box open so we can see how the text looks?

Here below I attached the screenshot of drop-down box open in the main program, my W10 custom scaling settings in the second attachment and the italian translation issue in the third attachment.
My screen resolution is 2560x1440.

Do you think there is a relation with the missing italian options descriptions in the third attachment?

Nope, the portable version looks fine. It was english at first and I changed it to italian.
I don't think it has something to do with the installer issue.

I'll pass that onto Shane.

That may help him pinpoint what is happening in your case.

WR is working fine for me, so if Shane is unable to replicate it on his machine then it may be very difficult for him to resolve if it is peculiar to your machine.

In addition to my real Windows 10 machine, I was able to replicate it on a Windows 10 vm with these language settings set in the first Windows setup.

I'll try again in the morning.

email sent and replied to.

Shane is having problems with this as he's unable to replicate it.

Should the problem be with your Windows can you open a Command Prompt (Admin) or Powershell (Admin) and run these cmds - letting me know what they report.

dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

sfc /scannow

Enter exit to close the cmd wind and try WR again.

The output of those commands reported that no issue was found and WR has still the same issue.
Is it ok if I send you a PM with a download link containing the VM with the WR installer issue?

I've emailed him but he hasn't found the cause yet although he's still working on it.

It makes it very difficult when you can't replicate the fault.

Shane is at a loss in how to fix it as he doesn't know what is causing it even though he knows the program inside and out.

I would think he will try to dig deeper in trying to find a solution, but don't know how long that will take.

Can you try changing the language on your machine to English then use WR's dropdown to change it to Italian to see how that goes.

https://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwirz-iThNzyAhWZEMAKHYm0D8QQFnoECAMQAw&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.windowscentral.com%2Fhow-properly-change-system-default-language-windows-10&usg=AOvVaw2oeUmFJs_Tu3vVFm9OvLJ-

You can change it back to Italian when done.

I've noticed that you are located in the UK.

If you are Italian, why do you want to run WR in English mode ?

My main concern is about the Windows Repair installer in italian that doesn't reproduce the correct options at the end of the installation.. if you're struggling about how to fix them, I'd be grateful if you can provide a language selector like this (https://clients.bitrock.com/installbuilder/docs/installbuilder-userguide/images/language-selection-default.png) in the WR installer, that would help me a lot to bypass the issue by selecting the English language. Basically I would like to switch the installer language without setting another Windows language.

I made a few tests, and this (https://www.top-password.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/change-system-locale.png) was the Windows setting that changed the WR installer language to English.

The installer options are finally rendered correctly with just that setting set to English... but it was annoying to reach, and I would prefer a quicker language selector in the installer as specified above.

I don't know if Shane will be able to incorporate those into WR, but I'll pass those onto Shane.

Neither Shane or myself can replicate what you have been getting, so I had been wondering if the problem was machine specific.

I'll let you know what he replies when he does.
Title: Re: Follow-up of translation issue in WR installer 4.11.x
Post by: Boggin on September 01, 2021, 02:21:02 am
Those settings are machine specific so they couldn't be incorporated into WR.

I think I explained myself badly, I didn't mean to say to include that Windows language setting in the WR installer, I just wanted to say if you could add an additional language selector to override the default system locale of Windows (only for the installer strings). With a language selector, I could switch the installer strings in any language whenever I want when I run the WR installer every single time.

I have no idea of the installer that WR uses, but in Inno Setup it could be done with an additional parameter (set to yes):

Shane has told me that he'll be working on that today and release an updated WR version.

He's going away for about a week but while it could be a rush job, I'm sure it will be thorough.

Keep your eyes open for a newer version or I'll let you know when I get the notification of an update through my Pro version.

Shane told me he would be out of town between the 2nd and the 7th so you will have to wait for him to get back on this.

I'll email him on the 9th if I haven't had anything back by then.

Post by: Boggin on September 11, 2021, 12:22:33 pm
I emailed Shane on the 9th and he thinks as he's working in English, that may be why he's unable to replicate it.

I've suggested he contact a recent new member from France to check this on their machine but as yet, not had any further contact from Shane.

Hopefully it won't be too long before he's fully recovered.
