Could a switch statement that switches resources be more generic?

I am working on a kiosk application that has a button to choose a language.

The button after that has a picture of the languages flag and it's name. Right now I am using a switch statement to set the image, but I would like to have it more generic so when adding languages I wouldn't have to change code everywhere. I am getting the image from my apps resources, and I would like to keep it that way.

The only way I can think of would be by retrieving the images from files and naming them according to the language string they are for. The language string is in this format "en-US". Also the language string is declared in a function before this one is called. 

private void SetLanguageButton()
        {
            switch (language)
            {
                case "en-US":
                    buttonLanguage.Image = Properties.Resources.en_US;
                    break;

                case "hu-HU":
                    buttonLanguage.Image = Properties.Resources.hu_HU;
                    break;

                case "sk-SK":
                    buttonLanguage.Image = Properties.Resources.sk_SK;
                    break;
            }
            buttonLanguage.Text = resourceManager.GetString("languageName", cultureInfo);
        }

If you have cultural-ized resources, you can get data as following

buttonLanguage.Image = 
    (Icon)Properties.Resources.ResourceManager.GetObject("langicon", cultureInfo);
buttonLanguage.Text = 
    Properties.Resources.ResourceManager.GetString("langname", cultureInfo);
