The code does the following: 1. Read the -lang command line 2. Call GetUserDefaultLangID()http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd318134(v=vs.85).aspx this should get the current users language. 3. Try the current user langid but without the sub language. 4. Call GetSystemDefaultUILanguage()http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/dd318123(v=vs.85).aspx this should get the system language. 5. Try the current system langid but without the sub language.
So (ignoring the command line) if the users language is Mexican and there is a Mexican translation it will find that, if not it will try Spanish. If that fails is will repeat the process of the system language. I tested this on several languages and it did seem to work ok - I was only checking that the Burn UI was translated. Do you have a problem with a specific language?

I was looking at the code for the LocProbeForFile function was wondering about it. In the first if statement you are checking to see if a language was specified. Is this coming from a language selection dialog box and/or from the -lang LangID cmd line? As stated if I use the -lang LangID on the cmd line then the Burn wrapper .exe will correctly launch in that language, using my translated theme files, but if we just launch the .exe it does not take the System Language. So that brings me to the GetUserDefaultUILanguage and GetSystemDefaultUILanguage. If the seleted language is not found then where is it looking to check for User or System languages? Again since I am not an experienced programmer I need to understand what these entries are looking for? So if you do not mind giving a bit of help here I would appreciate it. Also will WiX 3.8 have burn updated so that it can detect and launch in the system language, if supported?
