I know that css.resource.OfficeResourceBundle is working fine (we use it in our drivers, too), but its drawback is that it's based on .res files, compiled from .src files when building OOo. Since I assume that your driver is not built in an OOo build env, but with the ODK, this is probably no option. I also know that the dialog localization feature is based on text files, but I'm somewhat lost on the details. AFAIK, the css.resource services can be used to access such files, but that's an educated guess only. I suggest you play a little with the StringResourceWithLocation service. The documentation of those services/interfaces seems to be ... above average :), so http://api.openoffice.org/docs/common/ref/com/sun/star/resource/StringResourceWithLocation.html might indeed help you.
