Overriding strings with .wxl in BAL bootstrapper?

[george7378]

It's easy enough to create custom strings for UI localisation in a Wix MSI project - I can just add a new .wxl and redefine them because in the source code, they're all overridable.

I want to do the same thing for a BAL bootstrapper project, but when I try, the strings are not overridden. I guess this is because these ones are not overridable in the source.

Is there a reason why this is the case, and can I override the BAL UI strings some other way? Thanks!

-> Update, I found that I can specify a LocalizationFile on my WixStandardBootstrapperApplication, but I then have to copy the whole source .wxl just to change one string. Not ideal as I then have to make sure that if the source file ever changes, I keep my local copy up to date.
