I would concur with Blair. I also seem to remember the reasoning behind this was older supported operating systems (XP) didn't have an API to get the "friendly" names. (Ex: GetUserDefaultLangID vs GetUserDefaultLocaleName)

Subject: Re: [WiX-users] Burn - Localization Identifiers Duplicated As I understand it, in the Name attribute you need to use the LCID instead of the culture name. For instance: <Payload Sourcefile="$(var.ProjectDir)zh-tw\TraditionalChinese.wxl" Name="1028\Preqba.wxl" ... /> where 1028 is the LCID for the culture known as zh-tw.
