subject: Language specific dialogs

Hallo all,
I ported one of my old and much beloved TP programs to Delphi (1.0) (cost 
me quite some sweating ...).
Much as I love the result, I'm not all to happy about the common dialogs. 
As my application is in Dutch, I would like all dialogs (OpenDialog, 
SaveDialog, FontDialog etc) to have Captions and Buttons in the Dutch 
language, even thoug I'm running it on a UK Windows 3.1 platform.
The same goes for the captions ("Information", "Error" etc.) of 
the (in)famous MessageDlg function, wether I call this fuction myself or 
some other dialog does (e.g. OpenDialog if you use the ofFileMustExist 
option and try to open a non-existing file).
How do i do this ?
Must I derive a new class from the TOpenDialog etc., and if so how ?
As I have bought Delphi on "special offer" I don't have the source code to 
the dialogs unit etc., so I don't really have a clue how to achieve this 
sort of things.
Can somebody please get me on the right track ???
Thanks in advance,
Bart
