We are writing MSI installer using WIX and want to support various languages like Japanese, French. What is a best way of implementing it in WIX so that it would ease our job to support other languages later on with minimal changes? Please share your experience with us.

WiX supports string localisation through the use of referencing language files (*.wxl) in your build command. It's quite well documented if you know what to look for. Then you only need to translate the language files and include them in a new build file for a translated installer... the application itself will need loc files to be translated and these will need to be in a new component.
