Need recommendation for translation component

For a freeware application, i'm looking into a way to translate the application by using a component (to keep the program as small as possiblie, as the resourcedll's each take up about 20kb each). Now is my question, wich component can you recommend. I do have the following wishes. (or workarounds for some of the wishes to get them working with a component)
- Translate every component. Caption, Text, and Hint
- Translate MessageBoxes and MessageDLG
- Translate Consts
- Must be compatible with BDS 2006

well, i did that, but most of them are not compatible with bds2006. the one that are, aren't able to convert consts and MessageBoxes and MessageDLG
most apps would use resource strings. Since you do not wish to do this, You'd really ahve to build the capability into all the components you use (and wish this for), and messageboxes are always going to be a problem
well, i haven't said that i don't wish to do this, but if i would like to use resourcestrings, i still need to find a good example to use an external .res file to load them from as i won't like to have the languages hard-coded into a resource into the program.
