Correct. And normally .po files are rather small, so trying to measure
the loading time is a waste of time - because we are talking
milliseconds here.

Also, in the case of fpGUI based apps, the developer can decide what
default language to compile into the project as resource strings, then
ship the remaining alternate language .po files and optional extras.
This will then save that few milliseconds loading time. :)  eg: When
we release our product to Germany, German is set as the default
language. When we release to England/US/Australia, then English could
be set as the default language. But if the German user would rather
want to use our product in English,  they can do so, because we
included the English .po file too (as the alternate language .po
files).
