Please fill a bug report for this. Add the i18n keyword on it. I would like to
see this fix also.
I just want to point out that future versions for Windows we may need to
update the code to support the localisation of new common box dialog controls.

Your URL did not work for me.
My opinion (if I did understand your propousal):
1) Using a hook procedure is a bit of a radical solution. We can use, but only
if it is no other solution. Most of common control dialog boxes allow you to
setup your own window procedure, from there we can localise the box. For
example, see LPOFNHOOKPROC entry in the OPENFILENAME structure for the common
file/save dialog box. This is definitilly a more clean solution.
2) We need to use the control IDs instead of labels. If you are running a
German Windows or other non-French and non-English system this will not work.
You also need to keep adding new languages. It's not a good idea. Also,
control ids between different releases of the common dialog boxes stay the
same. We can just have a map between the common control box item id to an
abiword string for that control.
Here my five cents.
