I could possibly find freeware to do this task, but I wouldn't in general trust freeware for business purposes.

The reason I chose Resource Tuner was sim- ply that it works — I had previously been using Resource Workshop for my work, which is (non-commercial) localisation, but I had been having difficulty using it with Far Eastern locales. The evaluation version of Resource Tuner, on the other hand, worked perfectly, and I was start- led at how cheap it was to register (I would normally expect to pay at least twice as much for a program of this quality).
