If translations could be embedded as resources in the
.exe file, executable file compressors like UPX would
work on those .exe files. It would probably require the
translation system to read the entire translations into
RAM before using them.

    Additionally to storing it in resources, it is also possible
    to make a mechanism, that adds the translations to the end
    of a compressed .exe file.

    I have created and submitted a patch (926201) that reads
    translations embedded as a resource in the executable or dll.

    This one is closed because the patch is there.
