I know that EZSetup's latest source mentions foreign language support but I don't know if that means directing files to the correct folder name.

( I have had to get some German users to create a /My Documents to get a save function to work so I should be looking into this also )

Tried this;

[Strings]
link = "default/english"
[Strings.0407]
link = "german"
[Strings.741d]
link = "swedish"

[Shortcuts]
%link%,0,app.exe,%CE17%

The idea is that you can define the string 'link' based on the system LANGUAGE. Then changed my pocketpc language to swedish (or german),yet the english/default string was displayed.

so does:
A: [Strings.Lang]not work on pocketpc?
B: changing the pocket pc language in regional settings not work how I expected?
C: I've done somefink dumb?

any help would be really appreciated.

cheers
Jim.
