Cannot found ResourceDictionary in specific folder

I've this application structure:

AppName
    Resources
        Languages
            en.xaml
            it.xaml

I'm trying to load a specific ResourceDictionary based on the CurrentCulture of the software that I set when the application start, a little example:

var dict = new ResourceDictionary();
string currentLang = "it-IT";

if (currentLang == "it-IT")
{
    CultureInfo.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("it");
    Application.LoadComponent(dict, new Uri("..\\Resources\\Languages\\it.xaml", UriKind.Relative));
}
else
{
    CultureInfo.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en");
    Application.LoadComponent(dict, new Uri("..\\Resources\\Languages\\en.xaml", UriKind.Relative));
}

when the code reach this line: Application.LoadComponent(dict, new Uri("..\\Resources\\Languages\\it.xaml", UriKind.Relative));

I get this error:

System.Exception: 'A resource identified by the URI' ..\Resources\Languages\it.xaml 'is not available for the' System.Windows.ResourceDictionary 'component.'

why happen this?

Thanks for any explaination.

This should work: 

string currentLang = "it-IT";

if (currentLang == "it-IT")
{
    CultureInfo.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("it");
    MainWindow.AppWindow.lsVm.GetCurrentLangDict=(ResourceDictionary)Application.LoadComponent(new Uri("..\\Resources\\Languages\\it.xaml", UriKind.Relative));
}
else
{
    CultureInfo.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture("en");
    MainWindow.AppWindow.lsVm.GetCurrentLangDict=(ResourceDictionary)Application.LoadComponent(new Uri("..\\Resources\\Languages\\en.xaml", UriKind.Relative));
}

This should load the resource dictionary and merge into your App.xaml:

ResourceDictionary dict = new ResourceDictionary() { Source = new Uri("/Resources/Languages/it.xaml", UriKind.Relative) };
Application.Current.Resources.MergedDictionaries.Add(dict);

Try it like this. I am doing like this and it finds them.

Application.LoadComponent(dict, new Uri("pack:\\application:,,,\YourDLL;\\component\\Resources\\Languages\\en.xaml", UriKind.Relative));
