I'd try either ZBabel (there are a couple of people listening on this list
who have done this before I guess) or Localizer. Both use a special tag
syntax, so you can write internationalized versions of your skins and create
a dictionary with translations. So you don't have to change more than one
version (the one with the internationalization tags added) if you change a
skin.
