I meant specifying IFPkgFlagDefaultLocation. Sorry for the confusion.

Are you saying, that if i put in /Applications, this is what it is
always called on the disk, and it is Finder that makes it appear in
the correct locale ?

My concern with making the pkg files default to /Applications was that
this may be called something different on other languages. If it is
always /Applications, there is no problem :)

I am used to Windows, where what Explorer displays is what it is
called on the disk, so for foreign languages, it is named differently
on the disk and hard coding in paths is a no-no.
