Hi

I found another way.

1. read the current excel version from registry 

RegistryKey CurrentExcelversionKey = Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey("Excel.Application", false).OpenSubKey("CurVer", false);
   string strCurrVersion = CurrentExcelversionKey.GetValue("").ToS tring();


2. read the current excel locale from registry

[CODE]
strRegistryPath = string.Format(@"Software\Microsoft\Office\{0}.0\Common\LanguageResources", 12);

RegistryKey rkeyUILanguage = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(strRegistryPath, false);

if (rkeyUILanguage != null)
{
int.TryParse(rkeyUILanguage.GetValue("UILanguage", false).ToS tring(), out intLocaleId);
}

RegistryKey CurrentExcelversionKey = Registry.ClassesRoot.OpenSubKey("Excel.Application", false).OpenSubKey("CurVer", false);
   string strCurrVersion = CurrentExcelversionKey.GetValue("").ToS tring();


2. read the current excel locale from registry 


strRegistryPath = string.Format(@"SoftwareMicrosoftOffice{0}.0CommonLanguageResources", <VersionNumberFoundAbove>);

 RegistryKey rkeyUILanguage = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(strRegistryPath, false);

  if (rkeyUILanguage != null)
  {
    int.TryParse(rkeyUILanguage.GetValue("UILanguage", false).ToS tring(), out intLocaleId);
  }


Now since we have found the LCID . we can find the corresponding locale from LCIDS present at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/221435

Set the Current Thread language with that locale before This.InitializeComponent() in AddinModule Constructor.

Hence the addin express ribbon will pick language of excel.

This works perfectly fine.
