Not sure if I pushed this, but there are some issues with UTF-8 .rc files (they do not compile with MSVC2013). I think we should switch to a mechanism similar to the Qt translations and then just read the translated strings from a text file instead of embedding them directly into the executable. This will also allow the launcher to be translated to different languages.

The resources file is by far the best option we currently have for the launcher and exe. Anything else will require something made in house or a static linked library, which inflates the code size. We can automatically generate these resources files from a translation source just before compiling for a new release.

Just for reference, got a reply to my post about a more streamlined build system. The _utf8.rc file was failing for unclear reasons...
