Absolutely, that's not the place. :-)

Ehrm... Looked in ResHacker, every resource was in a 'folder' with its name
equal to the language code. Maybe that's the way M$ are locale-aware, if they
know what a locale is at all.

You may dig in that direction; maybe your app will have to look up the language
code and pick the right resources itself, because I haven't see 'locale aware'
apps under Windoze.

But again, that's surely not the place for such questions... If any question
concerning the offtopic will get answered here, the list is risking of 
being renamed to programming at windowschix.org. :-)
