Francisco,

When you get it working with the transform msiexec /i installer.msi
TRANSFORMS=":1034". (I'm wondering about the ":1034" - should be e.g.
1034.mst???) this means it is working with your produced spanish
transform applied to the english one. So when going back to
InstallSite your problems can result in problems in step 3. or 4. .

In general and why I don't like this approach very much: you must rely
on the way here this undocumented feature retrieves the current OS
language. If something goes wrong here it is difficult to track down
the real issue. So did you try the package on several spanish systems
?

Btw: Spanish if I remember right this is the OS where the LCID is 1034
and additionally other LCIDs exist. Maybe that causes problems in
detecting a spanish OS with these embedded transforms. Read
http://windows-installer-xml-wix-toolset.687559.n2.nabble.com/LCIDs-of-the-supported-languages-of-WixUIExtension-tp5910168p5910168.html
So maybe use some other language first to track down the problem and
set the OS language as described in InstallSite.

I'd recommend you to use e.g. German and 1031 for your testing. Please
do exactly following:
1. Build the MSI + transform
2. test it with msiexec /i setup.msi TRANSFORMS=1031.mst

If working
3. embed the transform with
wisubstg.vbs Setup.msi 1031.mst 1031

4. ORCA: View -> Summary Information... -> there change Languages to
"1033,1031" (without quotes and without empty spaces between the
numbers) and save the
package afterwards)

Change the computer language of the system to German (Gerrmany) as
described on InstallSite. If still not working: Interesting is the
output of step 3. Please post it here. Be aware that you work exactly
on the generated packages and no dirty ones where possibly something
went wrong...

Regarding Arabic: Think of only localize text and not "RTL" the UIs.
One of our arabic speaking guys told me that these people are used of
not well RTL modified UIs. If you still want to do so: Get an
installShield demo (they offer well RTL layout, think only the graphic
on the start dlg and finish dialog is turned) and modify the WiX
dialogs in WiX sources folder src\ext\UIExtension\wixlib (approx 25 -
30 dialogs and User Interface "sequences"). Think it should be
possible here as well to embed a transform for the modifications even
here this transform then contains a completely modified UI. But as
never done also expect some issues when transforming with a torch
generated transform for arabic (not sure whether -t Language is
enough).

As already stated think of using a bootstrapper for the language
transform application (e.g. dotnetinstaller) instead of the embedded
approach.

Tobias
