So basically Group Policy tools use Administrative Template files (.admx files) to populate policy settings in the user interface. This allows administrators to manage registry-based policy settings. Administrative Templates files are divided into .admx files and language-specific .adml files for use by Group Policy administrators. The changes that are implemented in these files let administrators configure the same set of policies by using two languages. Administrators can configure policies by using the language-specific .adml files and the language-neutral .admx files.
