<Property Id="SETUPLANGLIST">eng</Property>

<Property Id="stringeng">English translate</Property>
<Property Id="stringita">Traduzione italiana</Property>

In this way, the first dialog, choose the languages and the [SETUPLANGLIST] variable will be "eng" or "ita", if we write [string[SETUPLANGLIST]] in second dialog, the output will like [stringeng] or [stringita]... how a variables.

I have tested with wix 3.5.2201.0 and wix 3.6... This code have an error in light compile: "ICE03: Invalid format string; etc.." but it WORKS!

Could i have problem in future for this error...!?
