Hi there,
I am "internationalizating" my application and found a problem

I have this .h file containing an enum class and a static array:

enum class Reason_idx : int {
	PRICE = 0,
	DELIVERY = 1,
	COMPLIANCE = 2,
	CERTIFICATES = 3,
	NumReason = 4
};
static const char* const REASON[] = {
	t_("Price"),
	t_("Delivery"),
	t_("Technical compliance"),
	t_("Certificates")
};

Whenever I need them (e.g. to fill in a droplist) I use something like that:

for (int i = 0; i < (int)Reason_idx::NumReason; i++)
	OpReason.Add(Reason[i]);

I put those in a header file because they are related to a database (they are the possible values of a table) and so I use the same file across a number of applications that connect to that database. The problem is that those string are never translated. Other parts of the applications (labels, messages) are properly translated. Those strings have a translation in the .t file of the application.
Someone has hints?
Regards,
Gio
