That is the minimal set of steps. Maybe one day someone will contribute the work to wrap it up in the wix.targets so others would never have to see it.
However, I'm not sure language transforms are the best way to distribute localized software any longer. With Burn, I think I would wrap up the "neutral" MSI plus as many language MSIs with localized files in them as necessary into a single Bundle. Or create a Bundle with a single language and then ship the other localized MSIs in add-on "LangPack" Bundles. Today, the only reason I'd really do one MSI with localized transforms is if there was a really strong requirement to have a single MSI with no Bundle.
