Burn and its existing WixStdBA don't support this out of the box today. I see two choices for you. The first is to have a single msi with no transforms and either use multiple components with conditions on the localized shortcuts or utilize a CA at runtime to inject the localized shortcuts into the appropriate tables. The second choice would be to extend the toolset to allow for conditional properties. I floated a variation of the second option across wix-devs, but if this were to become a feature of the engine then the questions of when should the conditions be evaluated and what other elements should support conditions would need to be answered.
The first option can be done without fear of breaking forward compatibility, while the second would require the feature to be accepted by Rob or you to maintain your customizations.
