In the installation zip file of your module include a language folder containing the language files you want, named like this: bg-BG.mod_mymodule.ini , de-DE.mod_mymodule.ini etc.

Then in the installation mod_mymodule.xml include a language section like this:

<languages folder="language">
    <language tag="bg-BG">bg-BG.mod_mymodule.ini</language>
    <language tag="de-DE">de-DE.mod_mymodule.ini</language>
</languages>

To use the above, in the code of your module you echo JText like this:

JText::_('MYMODULE_MY_STRING_HERE') where MYMODULE_MY_STRINGHERE is defined in the language .ini files for each language like this:

MYMODULE_MY_STRINGHERE="What you want it to say"
