Version Information

Tools -> Traveler Disk Setup 
You can use this facility to prepare a special traveler disk and launch TrueCrypt from there. Note 
that TrueCrypt ‘traveler disk’ is not a TrueCrypt volume but an unencrypted volume. A ‘traveler 
disk’ contains TrueCrypt executable files and optionally the ‘autorun.inf’ script (see the section 
AutoRun Configuration below). After you select Tools -> Traveler Disk Setup, the Traveler Disk 
Setup dialog box should appear. Some of the parameters that can be set within the dialog deserve 
further explanation:

Include TrueCrypt Volume Creation Wizard 
Check this option, if you need to create new TrueCrypt volumes using TrueCrypt run from the 
traveler disk you will create. Unchecking this option saves space on the traveler disk. 
 
AutoRun Configuration (autorun.inf) 
 
In this section, you can configure the ‘traveler disk’ to automatically start TrueCrypt or mount a 
specified TrueCrypt volume when the ‘traveler disk’ is inserted. This is accomplished by creating a 
special script file called ‘autorun.inf’ on the traveler disk. This file is automatically executed by the 
operating system each time the ‘traveler disk’ is inserted.
Note, however, that this feature only works for removable storage devices such as CD/DVD 
(Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista, or a later version of Windows is required for this feature to 
work on USB memory sticks) and only when it is enabled in the operating system. Depending on 
the operating system configuration, these auto-run and auto-mount features may work only when 
the traveler disk files are created on a non-writable CD/DVD-like medium (which is not a bug in 
TrueCrypt but a limitation of Windows).
Also note that the ‘autorun.inf’ file must be in the root directory (i.e., for example G:\, X:\, or Y:\ etc.) 
of an unencrypted disk in order for this feature to work.

Language Packs 
Language packs contain third-party translations of the TrueCrypt user interface texts. Some 
language packs also contain translated TrueCrypt User Guide. Note that language packs are 
currently supported only by the Windows version of TrueCrypt. 
Installation 
To install a language pack, follow these steps: 
1. Download a language pack from: 
http://www.truecrypt.org/localizations
 
2. Extract the language pack to the folder to which you installed TrueCrypt, i.e. the folder in 
which the file ‘TrueCrypt.exe’ resides; for example, ‘C:\Program Files\TrueCrypt’.
3. Run TrueCrypt.
4. Select Settings -> Language, then select your language and click OK. 
To revert to English, select Settings -> Language. Then select English and click OK.
