I have a few questions for the same topic.  I understand it's not actually
supported to have a multiple language MSI package.  I'm using WiX 3.5, and
msbuild.

First, I noticed my MSI package runs with translated dialogs on a native
language installed OS, however if I have a English OS installed and then
install a language pack on top of it then change the display language
according to  http://www.installsite.org/pages/en/msi/articles/embeddedlang/
http://www.installsite.org/pages/en/msi/articles/embeddedlang/  and try to
test my MSI it runs with English dialogs. Is this the expected behavior, if
not any tips on the problem?

Here is how I'm setting up my MSI: 

<Product Id="ProductCode"
           Name="Name" 
           Language="LanguageID" 
           Codepage="0"
           Version="Version"
           Manufacturer="Manufacturer"
           UpgradeCode="UpgradeCode">

<Package InstallerVersion="301"
              ...
              Languages="LanguageID"
              SummaryCodepage="SummaryCodepage"/>

Where LanguageID and SummaryCodepage is defined in the language.wxl file.

After building and linking, I call torch on the English MSI file, then merge
transforms using WiSubStg.vbs <English MSI> <language.mst> <language code>,
and finally language IDs available using WiLangId.vbs <English MSI> Package
<language code>, <language code>...

I've tried to hardcode the CodePage value to the LanguageID or the
SummaryCodepage defined in the localization file but I get an error "The
code page ' ' is not a valid Windows code page..."  Any tips on that too?


Thank you
