How to add localized listitems to a dropdownlist ?

I have a global resource, Scorecards.resx.

For stuff like
id="validDate"
Text="*"
ErrorMessage= "<%$ Resources:Scorecards, String66 %>"
Display="Dynamic"
OnServerValidate="ServerValidate"
runat="server">

apparently the syntax
....= "<%$ Resources:Scorecards, String66 %>"
works, but in the HTML
runat="server" ToolTip="<%$ Resources:Scorecards, String68 %>"
> <%$ Resources:Scorecards, String103%> asp:ListItem> <%$ Resources:Scorecards, String104%> asp:ListItem> <%$ Resources:Scorecards, String105%> asp:ListItem>

my syntax doesn't work anymore at all.

I have the error:
Literal expressions like '<%$ Resources:Scorecards, String103%>' are
not allowed. Use instead.

But if I use the suggested

instead, I get the error
Element 'Literal' is not a known element. This can occur if there is a
compilation error in the Web site.

So then, my question is: How to add localized listitems to a
dropdownlist ?
