Agreed.
I'll look in to possible ways of generating the localized CSS
dynamically according to the available locales.

So Prabhath you can go ahead with the standard CSS with the normal
directory structure (with out any localization)

We can do something like prefixing the resources with the locale code
( e.g: en_US_<image_name>.ext ) to distinguish between different
localized resources (or the standard one which would be just
<image_name>.ext).
