I think you can still use localization to fix it even if both the
versions are in English. Basically you need to create as many string
files as the # versions you want to support. Each string file would have
a name for a specific version. The string keys in all those files would
be the same (e.g. 'company_name' or 'product_name') but their values in
each file would be different (e.g. one file may have company_name = XYZ
and the other file may have company_name = PQR and so on).
Then, for a particular version, you load the string file for that
version and get the values for those keys and display them. I think this
would work.
