Answer 1

We have an application that can switch UI languages at runtime and has the ability to use new UI languages by copying the appropriate resources to a certain directory. Using some sort of compiled resoures for this is way too inflexible in terms of distributuon etc. So we have our language resources in a ResourceDictionary as System:Strings - one ResourceDictionary in a separate XAML file for each language. The XAML files are tagged as Content in VS and copied. You can use them as DynamicResources in XAML or via a Localizer instance in C#. This concept has proofed very useful in our application.
