We will still need people to take on the somwhat unsexy control resizing task and that may be a problem. If it turns out we lack volunteers for that we may turn to some automatic layout scheme, for instance describe the resources in a glade-like language and translate+convert them to rc files at build time.
Sounds not very exciting. If there is a choice of having resources with properly placed and sized controls but english only, vs. translated but with broken layout ones, then I'm afraid most users would prefer an english variant.
Once we start using po files we can probably get rid of the 'transl' website as those stats will come from whatever tool we choose to deal with po files.
For the actual resources and their size/placements it would be nice to have a tool/website as well that could be used to show how the translated language actually looks in a menu/dialog/whatever with even the possibility to change things. Is that feasible?
