Do you want to localize a script for running on foreign language systems?
It's a little hard to tell from your post what you mean by "dialect files".

I wrote a small scriptable application called System Language:
http://MicrocosmSoftware.com/products.html

I use System Language to determine the language. Then I use Akua Sweets
resource commands to read a corresponding STR# resource for use in my
script. Each STR# resource contains a localized version of every string in
my script. What I end up with is a script that can automatically detect,
and switch to the current language, all without user-interaction. Works
great. :)

Hope this helps. Enjoy.
