currently, no way exists fore mere UNO components to access localized resources, i.e. data stored in OOo's *.res files [1]. That's Bad (TM), since it forces UNO components to use unlocalized error messages, for instance.
I'm not sure OOo's res files are the best thing to use for components. At least they seem better suited to strictly office components, than for any other component that can run in a URE.
FWIW the configuration database can automatically retrieve data for the current UI locale. This has been (ab)used by component authors to provide localized messages. I can't say whether we consider that a good thing, but as one data point, even the OOo command names (for menus or toolbar tooltips) are localized this way now.
For standalone UNO components the configuration has the added benefit that configuration files can be deployed using the UNO package manager.
