I'm not sure if we have the same understanding of "loading at runtime". Of course OOo loads all strings at runtime. :-) Do you mean OOo should load its strings from editable text files to make it easier to change them? Well, at least for menus we already do this, nor for dialogs. Do you want that OOo always reloads strings from those files so that even changes in them while OOo is running will be reflected in the GUI immediately? I don't think that we will do this for several reasons, mainly performance and consistency (it's hard to change loaded and displayed strings afterwards). Or do you mean something else?
