Localization Issues

The following issues relate to localization problems.

• When the installer is run in text mode (installer –t), in a non-English locale, multi-byte characters show up as garbage. (Bug 6586923)

• On the Installer Progress screen, the progress bar shows strange characters. The tooltip is hard coded in non-English locales. (Bug 6591632)

• Text mode (installer –t) is not supported on Windows. Running the installer in text mode on Windows will cause an error message to be displayed. This message is not localized when the installer is run in non-English locales. (Bug 6594142)

• The License screen of the installer displays English license text no matter which locale the Installer is run in. (Bug 6592399)

  Workaround: To access localized license files, look for at the LICENSE_MULTILANGUAGE.pdf file.

• Installer usage help text is not localized. (Bug 6592493)

• The string “None” that is seen on the Installer summary HTML page is hard coded in English. (Bug 6593089)

• When the installer is run in a German locale, the Welcome screen does not show the complete text that is seen in other locales. (Bug 6592666)

• The string “Install Home” seen on the Installer Install Home screen is not localized. It appears in English even when the installer is run in non-English locales. (Bug 6592491)

• When the installer is run in text mode (installer –t), the English response choices “Yes” and “No” are used no matter what locale the installer is run in. (Bug 6593230)

• The tooltip for the browse button on the Installer JDK Selection screen is hard coded in English. (Bug 6593085)
