If we go that route, we should probably start from a bounding box-based 
description of the dialogs, and then generate both the English and the 
localized dialogs.

For instance the glade format seems to be bounding-box based. It also 
probably already has tools to handle localization. So we could probably 
start from a English glade file describing a dialog, generate localized 
versions of that file, and then, for each language, pass the dialog 
through our bounding-box calculator to convert that to coordinates and 
generate the corresponding rc files.
