It's been a few years, but the last time I was writing a GUI application
for an international market the shops in Japan, Korea, and Ireland that
we paid to localize the application required platform-native resource
files as their starting point.  Neither custom resources nor C++ code
would have been acceptable.  And before that, when I was at XVT, we put
a lot of work into supporting native resource files in our portable GUI
toolkit.
