If you can relax the single file issue, you could use a solution like
this:

It's a plugin.  At the start of your program it loads its resources, and
then checks to see if there's another resource file that fits the bill.
If there is, it loads that resource file and uses those resources rather
than the originals.
And if you're not worried about the total size of your program in RAM, then you could include the individual PRCs in your app as resources that get turned into PRCs (perhaps only when needed) via DmCreateDatabaseFromImage.

It would have minimal impact on your program's code, and it would allow
you to customise for at least the EFIGS languages anyway.  Not sure what
to do in the case of Dutch, though.
Dutch should be OK, though the OS isn't going to provide exactly what you'd want for sorting. Not that this is an issue for the UI, but if the user is running the app in "Dutch mode" and entering Dutch text, then they might expect other aspects of the program's behavior (such as sorting) to also be localized.
