This is VERY COOL. I am working on my first WiX bundle and was just getting to the point where I need to get it working in JEFIGS +Ch Simplified. I quickly implemented the steps you posted with the one exception that I created a Payload entry for a 1033 sub folder, which it uses by default rather than the file listed as /@ThemeFile. My test box is currently configured for Windows 8, English or German. It did not automatically select the language based on the users Language and Region setting, which is what I eventually need. But launching my setup with -lang 1031 (or each of the other IDs) clearly displays my modified localized .wxl strings for the language identified. I did this using HyperlinkTheme.wxl.
In my past experience with localizing (non-WiX) setup dialogs, after the translators do their magic there is generally a need to readjust the control sizes. I assume that I should put the HyperlinkTheme.xml in each resource folder for each language were layout sizes need to change, and add a corresponding Payload element. Something like? " <Payload Id="theme_de_de" Compressed="yes" Name="1031\thm.xml" SourceFile="theme\1031\HyperlinkTheme.xml"/> " One other note is that I originally added each theme subfolder and file to my project in VS2010 to edit the files. However the linker throws a ton of duplicate symbol errors. So for now I removed them but I assume I could add them back into the project and change the project settings to exclude them from the linker. I can work on these issues tomorrow. Thanks ALOT for this info.
