Localized string tables are a natural component of Windows, for just
this task (don't know about other platforms, but I imagine a similar
system is used). It may be easy, but probably somewhat tedious and
time-consuming to do!

One problem may be that to support the non-western alphabets, I presume
that Unicode will need to be used, something I have yet to tackle even
in Windows!
