Did you try LANGUAGE LANG_NEUTRAL,SUBLANG_SYS_DEFAULT?

Are they position dependant...as in the first match is what it uses?
If so, then German should be before Neutral.

My reading of LoadString is that it loads the resource. Period.
It looks like it is up to you to supply the correct resource ID .
I think the original intent was for you to have seperate RC files for
each language, and to link them individually for each destination.

I suppose you could have something like this...
#define	string1	0x4000
#define	string2	0x4001
STRINGTABLE
	LANGUAGE  LANG_GERMAN, SUBLANG_NEUTRAL
BEGIN
string1	"This is German string 1"
string2	"This is German string 2"
END
STRINGTABLE
	LANGUAGE  LANG_NEUTRAL, SUBLANG_DEFAULT
BEGIN
string1+0x1000	"This is neutral string 1"
string2+0x1000	"This is neutral string 2"
END

LoadString( hInst, string1+(IsThisGerman()?0:0x1000), buffer,
sizeof(buffer)-1 );
