fpGUI can also load translations at runtime - we do that for all our
products. Admittedly the UI Designer doesn't have support for this yet
(it's on my todo list). What we have done in the mean time is introduce
a base form class that has virtual methods like ApplyPreferences,
ApplyTranslations etc..

Then in each form we override those methods. In the case of
translations, we set the widgets captions or text using the resource
string constant.

As for resizing and repositioning components due to various languages
having longer or shorter text. I believe that is the job of the layout
manager, not the form designer.
