Well, my idea with the database would also allow us to share strings
between different applications.
We _could_ create a MySQL database on the reactos.org server and update
our local database from it, just like svn.
The .rc files don't contain the full strings any more, the just tell a
little application which strings it has to load from the db and put them
into the .rc file.
This would allow easier translation, because a string only needs to be
translated one time and not in every single application. And I think
there are a lot of strings that can be used in more than one application.
This is of course just an idea, but there are a lot of applications we
will create, and they all need to be translated in let's say 50
different languages.
I think, we can save a lot of work here.
Just think about it.
