Change Default Language in WMAppManifest.xml

I have a XAP file but it has no language specified and the App is in Dutch. The XAP is built by PhoneGap Build.

I downloaded the xap file, unzipped it and changed the WMAppManifest.xml file.

I've added, to the specifications:

<DefaultLanguage xmlns="" code="nl-NL" />

Just like it says: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsphone/develop/ff769509(v=vs.105).aspx#BKMK_DEFAULTLANGUAGEandLANGUAGESelements

But after uploading the xap file it get turned down because DefaultLanguage isn't allowed there.

EDITED; Added the complete file:

    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
    <Deployment xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/windowsphone/2009/deployment"    AppPlatformVersion="7.1">
    <DefaultLanguage xmlns="" code="nl-NL" />

    <App ProductID="{01bc12cd-49ae-bffa-004d-858ebc07ee7c}" RuntimeType="Silverlight"  Title="Gaandeweg" Version="1.0.2.0" Publisher="Bart Lamot" xmlns="" Genre="apps.normal"  Author="Bart Lamot" Description="Dit...">

      <Title>Cordova_1._5._0_Starter1</Title>
    </TemplateType5>
  </PrimaryToken>
 </Tokens>
 </App>
 </Deployment>

Since you are working on a Windows Phone 7.1 application, DefaultLanguage element is not supported in WMAppManifest.xml. Instead, you need to use [assembly: NeutralResourcesLanguageAttribute("en-US")] in AssemblyInfo.cs.

Look at the XML namespace - for 7.1 you have http://schemas.microsoft.com/windowsphone/2009/deployment. For DefaultLanguage to work, you need http://schemas.microsoft.com/windowsphone/2012/deployment (Windows Phone 8 apps).
