### Kit Overview

This kit is primarily intended for knowledgeable developers who are familiar with the localization process, with InstallShield or other installation programs, and with Windows resource editors. There are two basic approaches you can take to create an installer for your localized Communicator, Navigator or Mozilla derivative product:

1. Use an existing Communicator or Navigator Export product installer as a base and add your localized files, or
2. Create your own install program and use the registry setting information provided by the kit.

#### Overview of Method 1.

For this method you will need the following components:

- Your own copy of InstallShield version 3 International
- The appropriate version of a Netscape Communicator or Navigator installer.
- This localization kit.
- A text editor.
- A resource editor (e.g., MSDEV)

You will start with an Export version of a Netscape Communicator or Navigator installer. Then, you will extract the localizable components and modify them as desired. You will localize a number of strings contained in .INI files using a text editor. You will use a resource editor or the Netscape Translation Tools to localize STRINGTABLE and DIALOG resource types contained in two .DLLs. Once the localizable components of the installer are finished, you will reassemble the installer using the InstallShield EXE BUILDER tool, including your localized Communicator, Navigator or Mozilla derivative product. This process is detailed in the next section.

#### Overview of Method 2.

For this method you will need the following components:

- Your own copy of any install builder software
- This localization kit

You will create your own installation program in whatever fashion you wish. In order for your localized product to function properly, your installer will need to implement certain Windows registry settings.
