To minimize the number of Application objects required to distribute the same application in different languages, you can use language variables to represent language-related information in MSI Application objects.
NOTE:For compatibility with traditional ZENworks, the special system variables can also be specified in one of the following formats:
%system_variable%
For example, %LOCALE_USER_LANG%
%*system_variable%
For example, %*LOCALE_USER_LANG%
The following table describes the available language variables:
