Subject: [wix-users] Wix 4 localization not working as expected

Is localization defined differently in WiX 4 than in WiX 3? Or perhaps included differently than -loc xxx.wxl ?

Light.exe 4.0.0 is giving
    error LGHT0102 : The localization variable !(loc.PackageDescription) is unknown.

PackageDescription IS defined, in a .wxl which is referenced on light's command line:
(This same command line works fine with WiX 3.11):

    light -spdb -sw1076 -ext WixUtilExtension  -ext WixUIExtension  -o
works-en-us.msi   -dWixUILicenseRtf=EndUserLicense.rtf  *-cultures:en-us
-loc wsstrings-en-US.wxl*  wsbase.wixobj  wscore.wixobj  wscustom.wixobj  wslocals.wixobj  wsoptions.wixobj  wsqtquick.wixobj  wsswiftshader.wixobj  wswixui.wixobj  wsWelcomeDlg.wixobj  wsWelcomeEulaDlg.wixobj  wsInstallScopeDlg.wixobj  wsProductModeDlg.wixobj  wsMaintenanceTypeDlg.wixobj  wsReadyDlg.wixobj WiX Toolset Linker version 4.0.0.5205 Copyright (c) .NET Foundation and contributors.

wsbase.wxs(19) : error LGHT0102 : The localization variable
!(loc.PackageDescription) is unknown.  Please ensure the variable is defined.

C:\wix4\> grep PackageDescription wsstrings-en-us.wxl <String Id="PackageDescription">Works Windows Client Installer</String>
