You leave the Variable Names Exactly the same, and you write a customized localization File. Example:
Parvan.wxl(Excuse the Puns but I can't help it :) ) <String Id="UITextMenuAllLocal" Overridable="yes">Entire feature > will cause massive destruction if used improperly.</String> > <String Id="UITextMenuLocal" Overridable="yes">Will be installed > into the nether regions of the internet</String> After doing so reference the Parvan.wxl file in your project. See: http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/howtos/ui_and_localization/make_installer_localizable.html In this way, everywhere you use UITextMenuAllLocal, String expansion will replace "Entire Feature will be installed on local hard drive" with "Entire feature will cause massive destruction if used improperly." and the same for UITextMenuLocal. If you want them blank, set the string to . This will print a space.
