IIRC, Windows has a notion of string resources (other types of
resources are icons, bitmaps, etc.) Thus, instead of directly
incorporating the resource (string) in the code, the string is
referenced by its id tag.

Then the issue of localization is just translating strings in
the resource file. This also has a nice property of eliminating
the hunting down process, but adds a maintenance overhead for
the developer.
