In your plugin’s initialize method (or constructor might also work, if you already create some UI there), you need to take ICore::userInterfaceLanguage(), create a QTranslator, load the transation file corresponding to the language with it, and install it in the application.
For an example see the  HelpPlugin::initialize method
(http://code.qt.io/cgit/qt-creator/qt-creator.git/tree/src/plugins/help/helpplugin.cpp#n124)

Note that we currently do not have a nice way for “external” plugins to install additional resource files, so your best option is probably to include your .qm files through QRC
