Are you using WiX 2.0 or WiX 3.0?

Anyway, one MSI can only contain one language. To support 3 languages you need 
to create 3 MSIs. You can then convert 2 of them to MSTs to reduce the final 
size of your deployment package. (Or maybe 1 MSI and 3 MSTs - I'm not even sure 
of that.) You then use an MSI launcher or bootstrapper program to select which 
combination of MSI/MST to launch for the desired language.

I've written a beginner's tutorial for WiX 2.0 that includes a lot about 
localization.
