Usually WXL files are known only to light.exe, not to candle.exe, so culture
can only be known long after the preprocessor is done.
I didn't test this, but if I recall correctly, you can do something like
this:
<WixLocalization Culture="FRCA">
<String Id="SourceFoo">C:\French\foo.txt</String>
<!-- rest of your strings -->
</WixLocalization>
Etc.
Then:
<File Id="foo" Name="foo.txt" Source="!(loc.SourceFoo)" />

Subject: [WiX-users] Determine build language at compile time.
I don't appear to be able to utilize localization strings in order to define
variables or conditional statements. Is there another way to determine, at
compile time, what language I am building? I would like to remove the
additional overhead associated with changing environmental or system
variables between translated builds but am unable to find another way.
What I think I would like to be able to do is something like this:
<?define Sku = !(loc.CultureID) ?>
OR
<?if !(loc.CultureID) = FRCA?>
<File Id="foo" Name="foo.txt"
Source="C:\French\foo.txt" />
<?elseif !(loc.CultureID) = ESLA?>
<File Id="foo" Name="foo.txt"
Source="C:\Latam\foo.txt" />
<?else?>
<File Id="foo" Name="foo.txt"
Source="C:\US\foo.txt" />
<?endif?>
(I understand in this simple IF statement there are other ways to get the
source path.it is just an example.)
I would like to utilize a single *.wxs with multiple *.wxl files (one for
each translation).
Any help is much appreciated.
