The only way I found to do this was to clone LicenseAgreementDlg.wxs in to my project (see http://neilsleightholm.blogspot.com/2008/08/customised-uis-for-wix.html here for details) then change the file reference to: <Text SourceFile="$(var.ProjectDir)\!(loc.LicenseRtf)" />
In each of my localisation files (wxl) I have a line like this: <String Id="LicenseRtf" Overridable="yes">Localisation\License.rtf</String> Where License.rtf changes to the correct localised version e.g. License_es-es.rtf. This has the advantage that if you don't have a licence file it will fall back to the default language version.

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] localized WixUILicenseRtf in VisualStudio 2005 > You can also use the WixVariable element in a source file. Yes, but I cannot assign language specific strings to this variable, e.g. <WixVariable Id="WixUILicenseRtf" Value="!(loc.path_to_license_rtf)" /> because the localized strings are evaluated at link time. I get the error error LGHT0103: The system cannot find the file '!(loc.path_to_license_rtf)'. That's why the localized license file should be given to light.exe as a parameter. I don't see a way to work with the build mechanisms of Visual Studio unless I can give a parameter to light.exe in the project properties that depends on the current culture, e.g. -dWixUILicenseRtf="C:\rtf-path\$(Culture)\license.rtf" Is something like this possible? Otherwise I would have to build the project manually.
