This depends on whether you want to have all language stacks loaded
into memory or not.  I like to just load the language that the
program will be using.  I have a folder called "languages" in my app
support folder.  When the app launches it checks the system language
and then tries to load the appropriate stack file.  If the language
doesn't exist it defaults to English.

This way I can always refer to stack "language" using Transcript and
I don't have to worry about what language it actually is.

If you need to get a list of what languages are available then just
get a listing of the languages folder.

I still get returned emails saying:
