Didn't get what do you mean by unlimited dynamic control?. Let say you need to create n number of button in a form.
loop from 1 to n
Button b=new Button();
b.Text= Text in the languge you want.
Then add the control in your form.

Is that what you want?

Which UI framework are you using: Winforms or WPF or ???
The solution will depend on this.
I have a rather nice solution for WPF, but if you're using winforms it is of no use.

At the moment your software creates the button dynamically, it must have information on what text should be displayed on that button.
The information should still be available when some user changes the language setting. So use the same algorithm to find the matching text for a given combination of language and control.
