Shortcuts not deleted during uninstall

Hi All,
I have a .msi project which has shortcuts to some files under ALLUSERSPROFILE folder. The component on which these shortcuts are created has a link to a file.
This file gets deleted on uninstall but not the shortcuts.
The component is not marked as permanent. I also checked the RemoveFiles
table and everything looks in place. Was wondering if anybody else came across a similar situation or was able to resolve this?

Thanks in advance.

Just found out and this maybe linked to the cause.
Its a multilingual project and found out that if the selected language is anything other than English the shortcuts are not installed at all.
