Localizing a Wizard to Multiple Languages
You can create a wizard in any language for which Visual Studio provides support. By default, when you install Visual Studio, it identifies the locale from the registry and provides the appropriate templates for that locale.
Visual Studio uses language IDs to identify the language support a wizard requires. By default, the language ID is set to the decimal value of the registry entry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.0\General\UILanguage. If the wizard can find no language entry, it defaults to English (1033).
Note
For a list of decimal language values, see Wizard Support for Other Languages.
The language ID is specified as a custom parameter in the .vsz file in the paths where the HTML files and the Template files reside.
You should specify paths for each language for which you provide an .htm file.
Example
Setting the following custom parameters in the .vsz file indicate that you are providing HTML in English (1033), Japanese (1041), and German (1031):
Param="START_PATH\HTML\1033"
Param="START_PATH\HTML\1041"
Param="START_PATH\HTML\1031"
Param="START_PATH\Templates\1033"
Param="START_PATH\Templates\1041"
Param="START_PATH\Templates\1031"
Setting the above custom parameters sets up your wizard directory structure as follows:
MyWizard1

default.htm
myEnglishHTML.htm
1041

myJapaneseHTML.htm
1031
