case $SYNOPKG_DSM_LANGUAGE in
        chs)
            echo "简体中文" > $SYNOPKG_TEMP_LOGFILE 
        ;;

Show Message as Desktop Notification

It is possible to use /usr/syno/bin/synodsmnotify executable to send desktop notifications to users. The notification title / message must be an I18N string.

/usr/syno/bin/synodsmnotify -c [app_id] [user_or_group] [i18n_string_for_title] [i18n_string_for_msg]

/usr/syno/bin/synodsmnotify -c com.company.App1 admin MyPackage:app_tree:index_title MyPackage:app_tree:node_1

/usr/syno/bin/synodsmnotify -c com.company.App1 @administrators MyPackage:app_tree:index_title MyPackage:app_tree:node_1

Notification title and message here should be in the format of [package_id]:[i18n_section]:[i18n_key] where package_id is the package value in package INFO file. I18N string example can be found in I18N page. Remember to specify desktop notification strings to preloadTexts field in application config.
