How do you keep the spoken languages strings in your program up to date? Is there an inexpensive way? Where can you find people to do the conversions over time?

There are companies which will translate resource files in the standard formats for fees; I think that’s how most large companies do it.
I asked a similar question recently here about the best way to structure code in a project to support this, with my additional desire to preserve the readable strings in code. This is not standard, though… usually you would put all the string resources into a separate file and refer to them by ID in the code, and have the file translated.
See .rc files for Windows C++, .resx files for .NET, not sure what exists for Linux/Mac/other, but I’m sure there are equivalents.
