Just a suggestion but, wouldn't it be better to make a string resource file? Easier to translate without digging into the code.

Alright, thanks guys.

I guess it will imply Right-to-Left layout? I dunno whether my application will look correctly in this case.

This is a part of string resource file.

But if instead of putting everything as strings directly into the code you make the program read them from a strings.txt, it would go like this:
Play source
Open containing folder
Remove
... etc

in the program you would have to acces the correct line and then it's really easy to translate and change languages inside the code, the only problem is that the code itself could be a little bit longer.
Still I understand if you don't want to do such thing, it's only a suggestion.  :)

1) This is not part of code, it's just a resource file.
2) Doing it soldat-like is not a good idea at all: there is no way to realize which string belongs to what part of application and it'll became hell once you accidentally add/remove line or adjust index and trying to figure it out where the shift occurs.
3) I would prefer to use some proper "original string"="translated string" type of translation resource (and i actually do use it in my other projects), but for this one standard resource file is good enough.

Well, yeah. Hebrew is Right to Left.
But if you'd like, I can do it.
