Implementing UI translation in SumatraPDF, a C++ Windows application

How I implemented a system for translating strings to many languages in SumatraPDF, a C++ Windows application

I automated everything so that all I need to do is to periodically re-run the script that extracts strings from source code, uploads them to AppTranslator and downloads latest translations. I’ve considered downloading the latest translations from the server, in addition to embedding them in an executable at the time of building the app. XML doesn’t solve the 2 hard problems and a string storage format is an absolute nightmare for human editing.
