I know you can create custom stingIds like this:

ZO_CreateStringId("STRING_JEWELRY", "Jewelry")

But if you get translations how do you (if you can) add the translations to the same StringId so that when you call

GetString(STRING_JEWELRY)

It comes out in the right language?

You have to create different .lua for each language and the load the correct one using the $(language) variable in addon manifest.

addon.txt:

## Title: My Addon
## Version: 1.0
## Author: Garkin
## APIVersion: 100008

Lang/$(language).lua
addon.lua

Lang/en.lua:

ZO_CreateStringId("STRING_JEWELRY", "Jewelry")

Lang/de.lua:

ZO_CreateStringId("STRING_JEWELRY", "Schmuck")

Lang/fr.lua:

ZO_CreateStringId("STRING_JEWELRY", "Bijoux")

addon.lua:

EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent("MyAddon", EVENT_PLAYER_ACTIVATED, function(event)
   d(GetString(STRING_JEWELRY))
   EVENT_MANAGER:UnregisterForEvent("MyAddon", event)
end)
