Working with registry keys

After creating the server image, you may want to edit its registry keys for deployment to the workstations. By doing so, you can avoid having to manually configure the registry keys of each individual workstation installation of the software.

Setting up dynamic language switching

Dynamic language switching allows the language of the user interface to be changed, both during and after installation. This feature requires the installation of multiple language modules for the software — one for each desired user-interface language (see Specifying UI modules by language code). The selection of languages you can implement depends on the license you have purchased.

Two sets of registry settings are required for dynamic language switching:

workstation settings
current user settings

Workstation settings

Workstation settings affect all users. The registry setting for each workstation is as follows:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Corel\CorelDRAW\25.0\Languages

Inside this key are language keys — three-letter codes that represent the available languages. These language keys are put in place by the setup, so no intervention is required. Shown here (for reference only) are the three-letter codes for the available languages for the remaining components.

Japanese
JPN
Polish
PLK

Under each language key are the following registry settings:

DirName — specifies the name of the folder for the language-specific files, relative to InstallationPath\Languages
UIName — specifies the name to show in the startup dialog box and on the Tools Options Global dialog box (General page)

Current user settings

The registry setting for each current user is as follows:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Corel\CorelDRAW\25.0

The UILang setting is not initialized by the setup because the setup cannot determine which user will run the applications. After the user has run the application once, this setting changes to the three-letter code that corresponds to the user-specified language key at the following location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Corel\CorelDRAW\25.0\Languages
