multi lingual

Need to get some ideas on multi lingual strings.

I'm looking at the MS message complier in the SDK but not sure of how to
get the message resource attached to an sf exe, or how to create an empty
dll with nothing in it but the string resource. Much less the not insignificant
task of managing all the strings.

I'm looking at US, UK , French and Spanish. No non latin alphabets.

Seems to me that STRING could convert the given string into a hash
number, place the string into a string resource file (possible?) f it's not there
and then at run time look it up again, with an added language modifier..
Then we take the resource file and get some translator to write the
translations. Hopefully, this isn't too much harder then it sounds.

Any suggestions are welcome!
