So many multilanguage issues in the forum!

I agree, however the problem is there are several competing thoughts on how to add multi-lingual support and how the Codejock toolkit is used (dll or static linked). If using MFC, is it static linked?
Some of these questions depend upon what has to be supported. For example, if you must support unicode on all systems (such as Windows 98/ME) then everything has to be static linked.
Should a base language be included in the executable and all other languages contained within resource (satelite) dll's, or should all languages be in resource (satelite) dll's and none in the .exe? An application can have large resource requirements!
Will be translation itself be done from the .exe and or resource dll's or should the resource.rc be used.
A lot of assumtions is being made in the toolkit multi-language samples which I think is causing some of the confusion.
Most companies I am aware of in general use static linking of the toolkit and all language dependent stuff is put in resource dll's. No language dependent stuff is in the .exe itself. In the past, we have always translated from the resource.rc files. However the author of appTranslator http://www.apptranslator.com has almost convinced me it is best to translate from the .exe or resource dll's.
So I would also really like to see a step by step procedure, with consideration for the various competing methods.
