Thank you - the first part of that makes perfect sense. The second part is still a little ambiguous to me. When you say the cultures flag decides which .wxl files are processed this implies that the MSI can contain more than one locale, ( as the cultures flag takes a list of cultures). I didn't think an MSI could contain more than one set of strings for a locale, hence the need to use transforms.
I have a feeling the cultures flag actually takes a list of cultures, but this is used only for fall-backs when the proceeding culture is not found for a particular string. In fact I've now convinced myself this is the case, if someone could confirm that would be great.
