Satellite assemblies are concerned with 'resource localization'. The idea is that: * The main assembly contains resources for the default language as well as executable code. * Satellite assemblies contain resources for different languages - they never contain executable code. When the application runs the CLR determines the operating system's current language. Whenever you request a resource the CLR then looks for a satellite assembly containing resources for that language or if there isn't one falls back on the default language's resources in the main assembly. This means that you can add support to your application for a new language simply by adding a new satellite assembly.
