You should read:

Writing Win32 Multilingual User Interface Applications
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/handson/dev/muiapp.mspx

STRINGTABLE Resource
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-
us/tools/tools/stringtable_resource.asp

It seems that the VS2003 does not recognize Unicode resource-files.
In the documentation you will see that unicode-chars should be escaped with
\xnnnn.
But I tried to save the rc-file with UTF-8 and it seems that the VS2003 can
read it...
