I just use one exe file for all languages, that contains all translations
for all languages.

No. You should only translate the user interface - not the program behind
it.

file name delphi32.de which contains all the German localized resources

would
have delphi32.jp and so on.

Leo,
Just a question of interest:
How are you (Borland) translating the resources? I don't think your are
using something like the built in ITE, don't you?

Michael

Our tool (Balmsoft Polyglot) uses external text files, so even end-user can
translate application to their native language.

Such as:
MYAPP_ENG.EXE
MYAPP_KOR.EXE
MYAPP_JAP.EXE
