Without more context that'll be useless, you'd be almost better off
using an automatic translation tool like Google's or Systran (for
supported languages at least).

Even with 2 or 3 "lines" (which I understand as strings enclosed in "",
correct me if I'm wrong) shown at the same time, that doesn't solve the
problem that .rc files define more than stringtables: dialog boxes
layout (dependent on string length), icons and images (none are
translated in Wine yet, but they could become), menu layouts, etc.

There must exist some tools on the Win32 side of the Earth to deal with
those things...
