It is. In fact this setup allows us to run both english and sweddish on the 
same machine. The english users have the APP*ENG libraries in theire librairy 
list and the sweed users have the APP*SWE libraries in their. That is why we 
need 2 library per applications.

We would have to override message files, display files, printer files, panel 
group(for help), menus. I'am not even sure if all those are overidable. Also, 
this can add a lot of codes to ALL programs (Ex: clp pgm A call rpg pgm B that 
call rpg pgm C ... then all override must be coded in pgm A, maintenance hell). 
Also, when you explicitly use a library name, this makes things harder in test 
mode (you can not use the library list to access test object).

Overriding data files would save 2 entries and put my maximun number of 
application to 11
