Whatever is in /Contents/Resources overrides whatever is in /Contents/Resources/<Language>.lproj. This is the same as the rest of Mac OS X's localization strategy, and Installer.app just calls localizedStringWithFormat.

Hum, that's only half of the story here.

AFAIK, the real answer is: it depends on the OS version.

From experience and the bug report I filed against this, the behavior regarding the /Contents/Resources vs /Contents/Resources/<Language>.lproj changed in a Mac OS X release. I tend to remember it was in a 10.4.x release. I don't remember exactly if it was x=0 or x>0.

Anyway, on Mac OS X 10.2.8 for instance, /Contents/Resources/<Language>.lproj wins over /Contents/Resources for packages. I made a simple package that illustrates this.

On Mac OS X 10.4.x and later (where w is unknown), /Contents/Resources wins over /Contents/Resources/<Language>.lproj.

So, yes, it's best to avoid using /Contents/Resources when you have some localized versions in /Contents/Resources/<Language>.lproj.
