Ged, you misunderstood my rhetorical question :) , I was not asking the literal difference between both , of course are different! I was asking it from a conceptual point of view.

Please can you take a few seconds to think and answer me what's the difference between <file>source.c</file> and <localization isoname="en-US">en-US.rc</localization>? Exacly none.
I agree in this point. It's just a logical step to do it this way.
I don't , there is a huge difference! source.c is a single file which is compiled as a unit. en-US.rc is part of the top level resource file and is not built as a single unit, but is included as part of the top level resource file. Hence, we only need the top level resource as part of the project, including seperate lanuage files leads you to think they are built as a seperate file, in which case it will conflict with including it in the top level file.
If you look at any VS project, you will not see en-EN.rc as a project file in the same way you won't see windef.h as part of the project.
Ged.
