Hello,

You can use something like this,

For Installing resource string while install method :-

  

protected virtual void InstallLocaleResources()
        {
          
            var language = _languageRepository.Table.Single(l => l.Name == "English");

           
            foreach (var filePath in System.IO.Directory.EnumerateFiles(_webHelper.MapPath("~/Plugins/PluginName/Localization/Installation"), "ResourceString.xml", SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly))
            {
                var localesXml = File.ReadAllText(filePath);
                var localizationService = EngineContext.Current.Resolve<ILocalizationService>();
                localizationService.ImportResourcesFromXml(language, localesXml);
            }

        }

For UnInstalling resource string while uninstall method :-

Use same function but instead of calling

localizationService.ImportResourcesFromXml 

to load the xml string into a XML DOM object.

Then loop through all the LocaleResource elements, and with their Name attribute,

After call the usual

this.DeletePluginLocaleResource("pass-Name-here")

plugin method which commonly use.

You can also embed your files into plugin's assembly if you do not want to distribute your files together with the DLL. MSDN has great tutorial how to do that: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/319292/how-to-embed-and-access-resources-by-using-visual-c
