Following a list of LCIDs which are used in InstallShield as Transform Identifier (e.g. 1031.mst for a german transform) and within the solution (ism file) for identifying the languages. NSIS uses these languages as well as Language ID in their NLF localization files (NSISINSTALLDIR\Contrib\Language files\*.nlf) e.g. to start the correct language installation. So I assume these should be the least problematic ones to use:

I did a cross checking with NSIS and some MSDN reference and assume these LCIDs should be working ones. For zh-HK and zh-TW I'm a bit curious why there exist 2 localizations within WiX. The differences are minimal here (I conted 13) and for our products we only distinguish between Chinese Simplified and Chinese Traditional but without distinguising Chinese Traditional in Chinese Taiwan and Chinese Hongkong. But anyhow Bug in zh-HK found :-) There they need the bracket escaping similar to the zh-TW version [\[]安裝[\]] instead of [安裝]. Otherwise the zh-HK is not buildable.
