Language Interface Packs (LIPs) provide localized resources for commonly used UI elements in Windows and can be considered a kind of localized “skin” which can be applied to a Windows computer. For more information on LIPs, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/goglobal/ee461121.aspx.
If you try to add a LIP as a package to MDT 2010 to install the LIP as part of a Windows 7 deployment, it won’t work. However, you can install the LIP by adding it as an application to your MDT deployment share. You need to use the LPKSETUP command line syntax found at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd799270(WS.10).aspx to do this.
