To translate images you can use OnChangeLanguage event and manually load images into needed properties. Images can be translated only manually and cannot be stored in SIL/SIB files

Why not ?

After all, Delphi itself stores the images in the dfm text files... So why shouldn't I be able to do the same ?

SIL files are simple text files and won't be able to hold binary data for images.

I understand the sil files are text files...

But if you consider that delphi stores the images in the dfm files, that are also text files... then it is possible !!!!

SIL files are not just text files but they are also INI files that hold single line values and other limitations apply to them.
DFM (in text mode) are text files in special format.
But we will investigate what could be improved in this way.
