As per my understanding, this configuration can only be used if the application is in multi language .

Usually if the application is in English only then we can use Default Configuration

Please advise

Thanks

  Multi-language is one usage but is not the only usage.
  
  In our case, we have two versions of our application that we need to run our tests against. Between those two versions, some of the property values are different. The objects and hierarchy are the same, but the property values are different. So, what we do is we use the configuration to "version" our NameMapping for the different application versions.

    As mentioned that you are using 2 version of application and accordingly 2 version of Name mapping . But then what is the benefit ?

  The languages were just an example. You can separate the configurations any way you like, say versions of your software or locations of your offices
  
  configurations

  Version2
  Version2.2
