+There are two ways to test the installer in different languages:
+
+1. Find and uncomment the "!define MUI_LANGDLL_ALWAYSSHOW" line in the
+ "gvim.nsi" file and rebuild the installer.
+ Now every time you run it, you will see a dialog box with the possibility to

+ After these steps, when you start the installer, a window with the installer
+ language selection will also be displayed.
