	Create a satellite assembly with something like:
al /t:lib /embed:file.resource /culture:es program.resources.dll. It
must follow a specific nomenclature and must place it in a specific
directory. Search for "satellite assemblies"

	Sorry, I know only applications that i18n with .mo files.

	I forgot to mention, if you use glade files, follow :

http://www.mono-project.com/Internationalization

	AFAIK, It's the only way to get i18n. Despite it use mono.unix it's
portable, because mono.posix.dll and mono.posixhelper.dll is in gtk#
windows or must be in the latest.
