Okay adding all supported language .mst's by Payload element and then having:
<MsiProperty Name="TRANSFORMS" Value="[SystemLanguageID].mst" />
Does work. The install did install the shortcuts under the correct language,
but if you are running on a unsupported language, a language that we do not
have a .mst for, then the BootStrappper will fail when attempting to install
the product.

So this is where it would be nice to be able to use conditonal statements
within the MisPackage element to condition only the supported languages to
work and all unsupported languages would simply get English .mst passed to
the insalller.

So where/what would I have to change to get this done?

That also brought up another question, that is about having the bootstrapper
itself to run in the languge of the OS. I read the following:

"If you're using WixStandardBootstrapperApplication, it automatically tries
to localize the UI based on the user UI language, falling back to the system
UI language, and finally falling back to English. It looks for localized
strings in directories named after the LCID, so you'd have payloads like
this:"
<Payload Name="1033\thm.wxl" SourceFile="..." />
<Payload Name="1036\thm.wxl" SourceFile="..." />

So that sounds like it should automatically try to localize the UI, but then
the next statment that was written states that the strings are only English:

"Unfortunately, WixStandardBootstrapperApplication strings are currently
available only for en-US. That's why an fr-FR bootstrapper shows UI in
English. You'd need to localize the WiX source file HyperlinkTheme.wxl or
RtfTheme.wxl (depending on which theme you use). Both of these files are in
src\ext\BalExtension\wixstdba\Resources."

So which is it? is it translated or do we have to translated the theme.wxl
and then use the Payload element to place them in the .exe?
