The english.rar file is needed for all languages, then the conversion will be multi2 italian+english

Peterf's method tested and working.

You can also edit autorun.xml to remove any trace of languages you don't want to have (icons in autorun menu, possible running of setup.exe in an unsupported language etc).

Here goes:

1. Search for <strings language="en">, remove other language blocks.
2. Search for <actionqueue name="selectlanguage_en">, remove other blocks.
3. Search for <case casevalue="en" (two occurences), remove other lines.
4. Search for <condition name="CheckReadmeButton_en", remove other blocks.
5. Search for <xmlbutton name="english", remove other blocks.

Is there anyway to fix it?

The conversion is multi 5 (eng,ita,spa,ger,fre) no polish language
If you used the english conversion perhaps you forgot the step 6
