NSIS license file based on language selection

Question

Not quite sure how to accomplish this... I'm using NSIS to build an installer for some apps, and the installer supports English and Japanese. How would I tell NSIS to use one license file (license.txt) if the user selected English, and a different file (license.ja-JP.txt) if they selected Japanese?

Try this thread: Multilingual EULA using LicenseLangString its old but still relevant.

Thanks! the thread contained the solution. Should have looked harder myself, I guess. – Dmitry Brant Jun 15 '09 at 19:55
In case that thread goes away, the solution (for me at least) was to use `LicenseLangString` rather than `LangString` to define the appropriate filename. – ladenedge Dec 17 '12 at 06:37
Well, this page contains an error, to get it as easy as possible, look here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/9609268/1576300 – Schlangi Nov 12 '13 at 16:02

To summarize it, try something like this. Order is very important.

!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "English"
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "French"
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "Spanish"
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "Italian"
!insertmacro MUI_LANGUAGE "Portuguese"

LicenseLangString MUILicense ${LANG_ENGLISH} "C:\EULA\EULA_EN.txt"
LicenseLangString MUILicense ${LANG_FRENCH} "C:\EULA\EULA_FR.txt"
LicenseLangString MUILicense ${LANG_SPANISH} "C:\EULA\EULA_ES.txt"
LicenseLangString MUILicense ${LANG_ITALIAN} "C:\EULA\EULA_IT.txt"
LicenseLangString MUILicense ${LANG_PORTUGUESE} "C:\EULA\EULA_PT.txt"

!define MUI_LICENSEPAGE_RADIOBUTTONS
!insertmacro MUI_PAGE_LICENSE "$(MUILicense)"
