Not using the localized name of folders or items is a basic mistake made in almost all AppleScript examples I've seen.
For example, this code won't work on a Swedish OSX where the Applications folder's name is Program:
```applescript
tell application "Finder"
-- Mount a DMG
.
.
.
set position of item "Applications" to {175, 65}
end tell
```
The correct way of referencing folders is by using the localized name which you can get through the displayed name attribute like this:
```applescript
tell application "Finder"
-- Mount a DMG
.
.
.
set applications_folder to displayed name of (path to applications folder) -- i18n name
set position of item applications_folder to to {175, 65}
end tell
```
This is the line which retrieves the localized name of the folder and stores it in a variable named applications\_folder:
```applescript
set applications_folder to displayed name of (path to applications folder) -- i18n name
```
