Well ..
That's not how I do it.
In fact I didn't even know it could be done this automated.

I have the user select a language (or have the code do it for him based on 
installer for instance)

My language dlls *are* in a different directory.

I simply load the dll of my choice and pass the handle to my own LoadString 
function, yet I believe you can just as easily use this function then :

int LoadString(

    HINSTANCE hInstance, // handle of module containing string resource
    UINT uID, // resource identifier
    LPTSTR lpBuffer, // address of buffer for resource
    int nBufferMax  // size of buffer
   );
