A repaint by itself doesn't change the strings. How do the new strings 
come into all the edit boxes, of all open forms?

Similarly, when the user changes the system language, can he expect that 
every running application updates itself, with changed menus etc., up to 
eventually open help viewers? What if the program is not prepared for a 
different language, because e.g. a tax assistant is bound to a specific 
country?
