Localisable resources?

Hey people,

I've asked this in a different way before and got no response, but I'm
still having some difficulties, so I thought I'd try again.

I'm part of a team developing a Palm application (Palm OS 5, to be
running on ARM, if it's important) using CodeWarrior for ARM Developer
Suite 1.2, and I need to make it localisable. From my point of view,
this means getting the resource file into a format ('text'-based) that
can be sent to a third party to translate and send back to me. This
resource file format needs to somehow support different character
encodings, so we can have one in each language.

Now I'm in a bit of trouble. I've got it working so far in English,
using the .RSRC format (which seems to be binary).

I also have some .rcp files from using the PilRC for the emulator, but
I'm not sure if I can get these working with CodeWarrior, and I'm also
not sure if .rcp files can be in any character encoding other than ISO
"Latin 1".

I have looked, and failed to find, any format description for the .xrd
resource files that I can create CodeWarrior projects for, but these are
also text-based, so if I could find a syntax description for them (i.e.
what tags/attributes are valid/available) then they might work too.

Can anyone advise me or point me to a text-based resource format, that
will work with our CodeWarrior for ADS1.2 project in place of our
current binary .RSRC file, and will also support multiple character
encodings?

Thanks in advance,

Donovan.
