The problem is that you cannot install multiple languages, so your best
bet is to use the language of the system.
<package id="Firefox" name="Mozilla Firefox" revision="%PKG_VER%"
reboot="false" priority="100">
<!-- higher priority is used to install before Java and Flash
Player without defining a dependency -->
<!-- set version variables -->
<variable name="PKG_VER" value="45.0.1" />
<!-- set destination folder -->
<variable name="PKG_DEST" value="%ProgramFiles%\Mozilla
Firefox" architecture="x86"/>
<variable name="PKG_DEST" value="%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Mozilla
Firefox" architecture="x64"/>
<!-- default language is English -->
<variable name="PKG_LNG" value="en-us"/>
<!-- overwrite default language for German systems -->
<variable name="PKG_LNG" value="de" lcid="407,c07,1407,1007,807"/>
<check type="uninstall" condition="versiongreaterorequal"
path="Mozilla Firefox .+" value="%PKG_VER%" />
<install cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox Setup
%PKG_VER% %PKG_LNG%.exe" /S' />
<upgrade include="install" />
<remove cmd='"%PKG_DEST%\uninstall\helper.exe" /s' />
<remove cmd="%ComSpec% /c ping -n 11 localhost >NUL 2>NUL" />
</package>
