Thanks Felipe, but the problem with that implementation is that you
cannot add any new translations without recompiling the application.
So your idea ends up being the same as what I initially thought of,
but that's not ideal.

eg:
    TTranslations = class(TObject)
     ....
        procedure TranslateToEnglish;
        procedure TranslateToPortuguese;
        procedure TranslateToSpanish;
        procedure TranslateToFrench;
        procedure TranslateToGerman;
        procedure TranslateToItalian;
        procedure TranslateToRussian;
        procedure TranslateToPolish;
    ...
    end;
