NSIS ovverride default translation

In English.nlf I have the following lines

# ^BrowseBtn
B&rowse...

For some particular installation I want to have

# ^BrowseBtn
B&rowse

How can I do this in project.nsi?

Solution 
  • LangString "^BrowseBtn" ${LANG_ENGLISH} "B&rowse"

    If you are not using the Modern UI and you are not calling LoadLanguageFile "${NSISDIR}\Contrib\Language Files\English.nlf" then LANG_ENGLISH will not be defined, just use 1033 for english.

    If you just want to replace the text on a specific page but leave BrowseBtn as the default, you could change the text in the show callback for the page:

    !include WinMessages.nsh

Function MyDirShow
FindWindow $0 "#32770" "" $HWNDPARENT
GetDlgItem $0 $0 0x3E9 ; Id of Browse button on the dir page
SendMessage $0 ${WM_SETTEXT} 0 "STR:B&rowse"
FunctionEnd

Page Directory "" MyDirShow
