Translations and static linking

   I use satellite dlls to implement GUI translations. But with a fallback mechanism to use the main executable when a resource is not found in a satellite dll. So I can basically register multiple hinstance values which are searched until the resource is found. That helps to save space when e.g. images are the same in all languages, so they reside only in the main executable.

My modules link statically to MFC and codejock and I would like to avoid having to include all codejock resources in every satellite dll.

Currently my main concern are Ribbon resouces like it context menu, min/max and help buttons.
Can I change those texts after the ribbon was created?

What would I need to do to extract part of the toolkit resources in different languages to incorporate them into my satellite dlls and how do I make the toolkit aware of my satellite dlls?
I would need that if I start allowing my useres to customize the ribbon through the toolkit customize dialog.
