Property Names in COlePropertyPage

Environment : VC++ 4.0 Win95 & NT

I have a question about localization of property names in
COlePropertyPage. 

I am working on a project which needs to use CColorPropertyPage, and 
the OCX has several properties that will be displayed on that page.
But the problem is how can I localize the name when displaying on a
localized version of Win95 or NT. It is quite rude to ask a French 
or Greek user to navigate through English property names.

I am thinking about deriving a class from CColorPropertyPage and 
override OnInitialDialog() and manually insert localized string in
the combo box, but I don't know if this is the best answer.

The LOCALIZE sample that's in the Visual C++ box shows how to do
exactly this.

That'll work, but it's more work than necessary.

I'm afraid I've become some sort of speed freak.
These words are my own. I do not speak on behalf of Microsoft.
