No, English is not OK.
Suppose you have English as base and, for example, French as transform.
Then, on some dialogs you will have part of the strings (buttons, window
titles in English, instead of French). It happens mostrly on error dialogs.
What worked for me:
1. Create neutral base - set language ID and codepage to 0 (LANG = 0). I
still use English strings to make it compile
<Product Language="!(loc.LANG)" .......
UpgradeCode="$(var.ProductUpgradeCode)">
<Package Id="*" ........... Languages="!(loc.LANG)" />
2. Create separate packages for other languages (English included). Set
appropriate Language ID, codepage, culture strings
3. Take base from 1) and create transform for each language
Hope this helps
