I do this the same way, but the big problem is the dialogs that come from
Windows (I.E., message boxes and MFC dialogs) are still in the language that
was loaded on the computer. It's tough to do *any* language on *any*
Windows load. We finally decided to just support our languages on the
native system. It works if you don't because we did what you illustrated
here, but if someone does File/Open they always get English if English is
loaded or French if French is loaded for MFC.

Feel free to disregard, but I do it like this:
m_hLocalResource = AfxLoadLibrary(sLanguageDLLName);
AfxSetResourceHandle(m_hLocalResource);
This way you can set the resource language independent of the OS language.
It looks really easy!
Ahhh, but the devil is in the detail. *Practical* internationalisation
means rationalising where you spend your efforts to get the most return
for your time investment.
It's a subject dear to my heart, and my wallet. If you want to discuss
more details, feel free.

Is there a way of testing "satellite DLL's" for resources in different
languages in MFC programs on English Language systems?
I understand that one (eg) creates a resource DLL
MyAppFRA.dll
full of French resources and puts it in the same directory as
MyApp.exe
to get a localised French version of the program. It looks really easy!
[ I tried it and did a SetThreadLocale to French in my application class
constructor, but that didn't work. (AfxFindResourceHandle looked for the
Menu to load and homed straight in on the English resources in the .exe -
for reasons buried deep in MFC it didn't get as far as considering to
look anywhere else.)]
