If I have a load of language files called...

French.lng
German.lng
Italian.lng
etc.

wouldn't it be better if I could just...

ReadEnvStr $APPLANGUAGE "PortableApps.comName"

instead of...

ReadEnvStr $APPLANGUAGE "PortableApps.comLocaleglibc"

followed by all the

StrCmp $APPLANGUAGE "fr"
StrCpy $APPLANGUAGE "French"
etc.

?

PortableApps.comLocaleWinName

You might like to try the environment variable PortableApps.comLocaleWinName. This produces things like LANG_ENGLISH, LANG_PORTUGUESE.

ReadEnvStr $0 PortableApps.comLocaleWinName
StrCpy $APPLANGUAGE $0 "" 5

$APPLANGUAGE will be e.g. ENGLISH, PORTUGUESE. If you find any instances where the PortableApps.comLocaleWinName is different, then you can do a StrCmp/StrCpy thing. Try LogicLib though, it's much easier:

${IfThen} $APPLANGUAGE == SPANISHINTERNATIONAL ${|} StrCpy $APPLANGUAGE Spanish ${|}
