You can do that with T4 Toolbox. Select the resx file in Solution Explorer and set the Custom Tool Template in the Properties window.

thats work fine, but I work in a team and don't want to force our member for installing an VS Extension! are you have a solution for that? – Omid Shariati Feb 24 '13 at 05:52
In that case, you should probably stick with the built-in resx file generator. – Oleg Sych Feb 25 '13 at 20:56

Have a look at http://t4-editor.tangible-engineering.com/t4editor_features.html#Compare. There's a feature called "Add Code Generation Item Command" that might do the trick.
