When user is in the zh_TW solaris locale, the installer still shows localized messages of the simplified chinese locale. These are 2 different locales and the installer messages should be shown in english if user in zh_TW locale, just like they would be shown in english if user in fr locale. I think there might be 2 parts to this: a. our messages, which are localized only for zh locale (InstallerResources_zh.java) b. is messages is messages might be ok if they have also zh_TW messages as part of their product, but its still confusing to user perhaps to see some in Tawian chinese and some in english But these messages might also be from zh locale. I'm adding FONTSIZE keyword to this even tho not fontsize issue since there are other zh related issues that dont need to be fixed for english nb release and dashboard will skip these. But this does need tobe fixed now for the ml release.
I contacted George Hernandez who knows workaround of this IS issue.

I verified using test installers Richard created that the fix/workaround is ok. Although user in zh_TW will see some zh_TW messages from installshield, they will see our messages in english, and until IS can do their own fix, this will need to be solution. ken.frank@sun.com 05-22-2003
