Implementing l10n in an extension

Hello world,
I've implemented a Calc extension that includes some dialogs and I'd like to
have those translated to multiple languages. The dialogs are implemented in
this funny .xdl Basic format, the handlers in Java.
However, as you might've already expected ;) l10n didn't quite work out so
far. No matter what I do, I can't get localized strings displayed. Instead of
English or German strings, I see only the references e.g.
"&3.Dialog1.CommandButton1.Label"
It has certainly something to do with the fact that I've created l10n files
manually, since GUI for that is currently completely defunct due to [1] so if
anyone can spot an obvious mistake, something missing etc. in my data below
and/or give me some useful advice, I'd be grateful
My folder structure:
dialogs/
+- Dialog1.xdl
+- Dialog2.xdl
+- DialogStrings_de_DE.properties
+- DialogStrings_en_US.default
+- DialogStrings_en_US.properties
+- dialog.xlb
Dialog1.xdl:
<dlg:button dlg:id="CommandButton1" dlg:tab-index="0" dlg:left="98"
dlg:top="261" dlg:width="32" dlg:height="10"
dlg:value="&3.Dialog1.CommandButton1.Label">
DialogStrings_en_US.properties:
3.Dialog1.CommandButton1.Label=Close
DialogStrings_de_DE.properties:
3. Dialog1.CommandButton1.Label=Schließen
dialog.xlb:
<library:library xmlns:library="http://openoffice.org/2000/library"
library:name="dialogs" library:readonly="false"
library:passwordprotected="false">
<library:element library:name="Dialog1"/>
<library:element library:name="Dialog2"/>
</library:library>
