How to enable satellite assemblies (localized resources) in MSI created using WiX?

The project I'm working on is the transition from deploying / installing VS2008 to WiX, which I'm very new to right now. I added the code to copy the output of the resource project to Resource.dll, but in the old VS2008 installer file system there is also the output of localized resources, which currently creates two times (en and es) from another dll in (Resources.resources.dll) for each language. I had a bit of searching, but I cannot find a way to get these folders in msi, not knowing that these folders exist and insert them directly. What is the best way to do this?
