1. A computer-implemented method for dynamically verifying resource compatibility with an operating system, the method comprising:

  • obtaining a request to load a resource from an alternate resource module, wherein the alternate resource module corresponds to a selected language-specific interface of an operating system;

    obtaining a first resource content of a default resource module from which the alternate resource module was localized;

    obtaining a second resource content of a current default resource module;

    determining whether the alternate resource module is compatible with the operating system based on comparing the first resource content and the second resource content; and

    loading the requested resource from the alternate resource module if the alternate resource module is compatible with the operating system, including when the first resource content is the same as the second resource content as determined from comparing a representation of each of the default resource module and the current default resource module, wherein the representation is a unique number, the unique number is a checksum calculated using an MD5-message digest algorithm, and if the alternate resource is incompatible, the method terminates execution.
