Resource file names should be like this:

Resources.resx(default one with english)

Resources.de-DE.resx(Germany)

Resources.fr-FR.resx(french)

Because, in runtime .dll reads key values based on current culture. Let's say current culture is "de-DE" means german. It will read values from german resource file with name as resource.de-DE.resx
