I am curious about this conversation. I write apps that run in several
languages...10,12,15 languages.
To date I have used indexed arrays. At times memory boundaries have been an
issue, but I have always been able to solve these issues with segmenting.
For each form I create in constructor, I dynamically fill it at run time
with the appropriate language array. This way one prc supports several
languages dynamically.
I am not sure the way I am doing it is the most efficient.
But, I wouldn't want to use constructor for 10 languages X 100 screens.
Do you need to use constructor for overlays?

One BIG one is internationalization. If you're planning to sell your
product anywhere that has a different language than the one you write it,
you'd better use resources. Otherwise it means code changes and a
recompile to change a string.
