勤奋，不断追求卓越...
Copying and pasting from your email: display dialog "勤奋，不断追求卓越..." (I'm sorry, I don't actually know what that means...) The actual AppleScript stuff has to be in English, though. --
You can do it but it's a bit fiddly. You need to create localisation strings and save them with your script as a bundle.
Save your script as a bundle and then in the Finder, right-click and choose "Show package contents"
Create a new folder called English.lproj (or Chinese.lproj or German.lproj and so on)
In that folder create a file called Localizable.strings
In the file enter text in this format:
"Hard work" = "勤奋"; "Yes" = "是的"; "Yes" = "Ja";
"No" = "Nein";
Obviously don't mix German and Chinese - use the relevant Localizable.strings file.
Now, as Shane said - the AppleScript needs to be written in English but AppleScript comes with the necessary commands to do the localizations:
display dialog (localized string "Hard work") buttons {localized string "Yes", localized string "No"} default button 1 with icon caution if button returned of result is (localized string "NO") then error number -128
