Comment 3 for bug 1654460

I am the author of the NSIS installer for the program LyX (lyx.org). In it I have the same task: I have several language dictionaries and need to sort them. I used always the English names, independent on the chosen installer language because everybody knows the English name of his language.

Doing this is not difficult: Here is the part of my NSIS code that does this:

#--------------------------------
# visible installer sections

Section "!${APP_NAME}" SecCore
 SectionIn RO
 !if ${SETUPTYPE} == BUNDLE
  # if no TeX was found MiKTeX will be installed which requires space
  !if $PathLaTeX == ""
   AddSize 1020000 # size in KB
  !endif
 !endif
SectionEnd

Section "$(SecFileAssocTitle)" SecFileAssoc
 StrCpy $CreateFileAssociations "true"
SectionEnd

Section "$(SecDesktopTitle)" SecDesktop
 StrCpy $CreateDesktopIcon "true"
SectionEnd

# Expand the list of dictionaries by default as this was requested by several
# users. For the thesaurus this is was not requested because this section
# is by default empty.
