Satellite Assembly Question

Are there any good Open Source examples of globalized apps? I'd just like to
take a look at a real live sample that uses satellite assemblies.

I know how to do it from what the MS docs say, but I just want to see some
other examples first.

Besides code size is there any other downside to simply embedding all the
resources internally?

For example, I'm writing a small GUI app. It's easy enough to embed all the
resources for all the languages into the app.

Yes it is, but what if you want to support more languages in the future?
You will have to recompile the application and have all your users download
and install the latest version.
With satellite assemblies, you'll only have to deploy additional resource
assemblies to the users.

You can take a look at SharpDevelop. It's open source and chances are it
uses satellite DLLs.
