BUILDING ADOBE <strong>AIR</strong> APPLICATIONS<br />
<strong>AIR</strong> application descriptor files<br />
224<br />
The <strong>AIR</strong> application installer uses the name that most closely matches the user interface language of the user’s<br />
operating system. For example, consider an installation in which the name element of the application descriptor file<br />
includes a value for the en (English) locale. The <strong>AIR</strong> application installer uses the en name if the operating system<br />
identifies en (English) as the user interface language. It also uses the en name if the system user interface language is<br />
en-US (U.S. English). However, if the user interface language is en-US and the application descriptor file defines both<br />
en-US and en-GB names, then the <strong>AIR</strong> application installer uses the en-US value. If the application defines no name<br />
that matches the system user interface languages, the <strong>AIR</strong> application installer uses the first name value defined in the<br />
application descriptor file.<br />
The name element only defines the application title used in the <strong>AIR</strong> application installer. The <strong>AIR</strong> application installer<br />
supports multiple languages: Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Czech, Dutch, English, French, German,<br />
Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish. The <strong>AIR</strong> application<br />
installer selects its displayed language (for text other than the application title and description) based on the system<br />
user interface language. This language selection is independent of the settings in the application descriptor file.<br />
The name element does not define the locales available for the running, installed application. For details on developing<br />
multi-language applications, see “Localizing <strong>AIR</strong> applications” on page 281.<br />
Example<br />
The following example defines a name with a simple text node:<br />
