As far as I'm aware.

However, you don't necessarily need to translate the glade file.
Instead, you can explicitly set all your strings in code, allowing you
to use the normal System.Globalization mechanisms.  (Whether this
alternative is acceptable is another matter. ;-)

*.mdb files contain debugging information.

The I18n*.dll files contain various System.Text.Encoding and
System.Globalization.CultureInfo sub-classes for various regions.  See:

In short, they have no relation to localization.
