The wixstdba will automatically search for a .wxl file of the system language (i.e. look in 1033 directory for english and 1041 for german and 1044 for japanese, or are those last two switched?).
Failing to find a matching .wxl file will cause wixstdba to fall back to a .wxl in the root. There are a few bugs about localization open that need to be fixed before this works well but you can see the beginnings.
