<A NAME="kitoverview"></A>Kit Overview</H3>
|
|
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:
|
|
<OL>
|
|
<LI>
|
|
Use an existing Communicator or Navigator Export product installer as a
|
|
base and add your localized files, or</LI>
|
|
|
|
<LI>
|
|
Create your own install program and use the registry setting information
|
|
provided by the kit.</LI>
|
|
</OL>

<A NAME="method1"></A>Overview of Method 1.</H4>
|
|
For this method you will need the following components:
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<UL>
|
|
<LI>
|
|
Your own copy of InstallShield version 3 International</LI>
|
|
|
|
<LI>
|
|
The appropriate version of a Netscape Communicator or Navigator installer.</LI>
|
|
|
|
<LI>
|
|
This localization kit.</LI>
|
|
|
|
<LI>
|
|
A text editor.</LI>
|
|
|
|
<LI>
|
|
A resource editor (e.g., MSDEV)</LI>
|
|
</UL>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>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.</UL>

<P>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 <A HREF="registrySettings.html">Windows
