temporary footnotes:

If the langpack key installer.reversetitle is defined, the value of that key will be used instead of the key installer.title. With installer.reversetitle option you can use IzPack variables to customize the title of a panel. The installer.title option has following static format: ${installer.title} + ${appname}.
