Thanks that helped. I did find it wasn't as clear cut as I expected. I
have several .wxl files one for English and the others for all the other
languages I support. Because not all strings are translated yet both in
my code and the WiX extensions it is necessary to link with this command
line:
light -cultures:ja-jp;en-us; -ext WixUIExtension -ext WixUtilExtension
-loc en-us.wxl -loc ja-jp.wxl -out Setup.msi obj\*.wixobj
This takes the translated strings where it can but defaults to English
if they are not found.
In en-us.wxl I set codepage 1252, in ja-jp.wxl I set 932 but when I link
this I get the error:
light.exe : error LGHT0101 : The codepage '1252' has been
specified in multiple
localization files. Please resolve the conflict.
To work around this I only set the codepage in ja-jp.wxl (and all the
other non-english wxl files).

Hey Neil,
If you use .wxl files to do your localization you could specify the
Codepage
as an attribute in that file. This would help normalize this for you a
bit.
Take a look at the http://schemas.microsoft.com/wix/2006/localization
and
WXL files.
Hope this helps,
