After an email communication with the OP I found out that I 
misunderstood his question. Here is what I have learned so far,
but never tried that out:

1) The Manifest.MF file must contain the entry


Bundle-Localization: plugin


2) The plugin.xml entries which should be internationalized
have to be moved into the plugin.properties file and in the
plugin.xml the %key notation is used to get them from there.

3) Parallel to the plugin.properties you provide corresponding
plugin_${language_id}.properties files, where ${language_id}
is the corresponding Java language id. It is possible to
deploy these files in seperate fragments, but that should be
different from the actual problem.

HTH,
