You can create your own Localizer class that inherits from DevExpress.XtraBars.Localization.BarLocalizer. Override the GetLocalizedString method and return what value you'd like for the minimize/maximize buttons. For instance:

public class MyRibbonLocalizer : DevExpress.XtraBars.Localization.BarLocalizer
{
    public override string Language
    {
        get
        {
            return System.Globalization.CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name;
        }
    }

    public override string GetLocalizedString(BarString id)
    {
        switch (id)
        {
            case BarString.MinimizeButton:
                return "My Minimize string";

            case BarString.MaximizeButton:
                return "My Maximize string";

            default:
                return base.GetLocalizedString(id);
        }
    }
}

You will need to register this localizer class in your RibbonForm in order for it to work. I typically do this within the constructor:

DevExpress.XtraBars.Localization.BarLocalizer.Active = new MyRibbonLocalizer();

This will work for both ribbons and XtraBar toolbars/XtraForms.
