This is a good idea :) I do almost exactly the same in Taskbar, all
strings are (optionally) loaded from a separate file. I don't manipulate
the RSC in any other way though, so every translated object would have
to be adjusted to accomodate the longest translated string which makes
the Italian translation a bit of a pain ;)

Also, the original strings in the RSC is used as a key to find the
translated string. This makes it easy to create translations, but if a
string in the RSC is modified all translations must be adapted too.

I'm not sure if I understand this. What does "write" mean? Can you post
a part of an actual translation-file?

Absolutely :)
