Never worry how hard it will be. If it needs to be done, it will be done.

Martin - one area I was investigating was moving all the strings currently
stored in various ap_Menu_LabelSet_??-??.h and ap_TB_LabelSet_??-??.h into
the ??-??.strings files. That way these localization are loaded only at
runtime and don't add bloat to the code base. It also simplifies
translations efforts. Unless there is some need (unknown to me) to have
diffent runtime locales for menu, toolbars, and other strings, that is.
Keep this in mind while making changes. I will hold off on this effort to
let dynamic menu/tb implimentation finish.
Cheers!
