The magic line to add to your addin file is this:

<StringResources file="Resources\StringResources.resources">

Then for each language you intend to support you create a new resource file with the correct name e.g. StringResources.nl.resources for dutch.

translations

In the download you will find the C# project files as well as the addin itself. Also included is a BitmapResources.resources file containing all the Silk icons from famfamfam which I thought were pretty neat to use as menu icons :)
