The changes to
support WixUI localization are now in the WiX mainline (aka 3.0). Localization
in WiX requires you to pass a "-loc filename" switch on the light command line.
At the moment, there's no way to embed a set of default loc strings in a
.wixlib, so it means that even for 1033 English, you have to pass a -loc switch.
That's a breaking change from the current version of WixUI so there's some
feeling that we shouldn't port the change to the 2.0 (stable) branch. The
downside is that without the loc changes, it's very difficult to localize the
WixUI dialogs. The loc changes also complicate merging, so only bug fixes would
make it into a 2.0 branch with the loc changes.
All that
said...
Is the requirement
to change build scripts a big enough deal to prevent the merge of the loc
changes? Feedback appreciated!
