1.5.3? do you mean the current version (5.3)? if so if you have:

[Languages]
Name: "en"; MessagesFile: "compiler:english.isl"
...

you can return the language "en" via the {language} constant.

you can return the language "en" via the {language} constant. Where and how do i get this {language} constant , do u have any sample for this. Thanks – Naresh Apr 29 '10 at 11:14
You can use it in inno directives like: `Filename: "C:\XXX\{Language}\some.file` It depends on what you want to do with the "en" string – Alex K. Apr 29 '10 at 11:39

Try this method to determine what language user selected:

[Code]
var
  ResultLan: String;

procedure MyConst();    
begin
  ResultLan := ExpandConstant('{language}');    
  MsgBox(ResultLan, mbInformation, MB_OK);        
end;
