Well, it's possible to split the resource file into several languages
while remaining compatible to VC++'s editor using the TEXTINCLUDE
sections. As I see there is quite a lot interest in this, I will try
to do this conversion.
The problem is: I am not sure, I can do this right for all those
languages. So I ask the native speakers to have a look at the
different language files after the split to see if it is all correct.
