The thing you were doing would have given kMenuSettingsHeadereng or kMenuSettingsHeaderrus as result because instead of macros they will be treated as strings... So Use this

#define kMenuSettingsHeaderrus @"Настройки"
#define kMenuSettingsHeadereng @"Settings"


_language= [[SettingsManager sharedSettingsManager] getLanguage];

CCLabelTTF *settingsLabel;
 if ([_langueage isEqualToString:@"rus"])
{
settingsLabel = [CCLabelTTF labelWithString:kMenuSettingsHeaderrus fontName:kLabelFontNameTTF fontSize:kMenuHeaderFontSize];
}
else if ([_langueage isEqualToString:@"eng"])
{
settingsLabel = [CCLabelTTF labelWithString:kMenuSettingsHeadereng fontName:kLabelFontNameTTF fontSize:kMenuHeaderFontSize];
}

Check for the syntax... I don't have X-code to check for that... Hope this helps.. :)
