Is it possible to translate test in static member of a class?

Consider this simplified code:
#include <Core/Core.h>
using namespace Upp;

#define TFILE <test/test.t>
#include <Core/t.h>

struct test{
	static const char* str;
	const char* str2;
	test():str(t_("translation")){};
};
const char* test::str=t_("translation");

CONSOLE_APP_MAIN{
	SetLanguage(GetSystemLNG());
	test t;
	DUMP(t.str); // doesn't translate
	DUMP(t.str2); // works fine
	DUMP(t_("translation")); // works fine
}


I believe the problem is that the static member is initialized earlier than the translations. Is there some reasonable workaround? Or is the only solution to make the member non-static?

Thanks,
Honza

I'll answer myself Smile

The simplest and probably correct solution is to use t_GetLngString() whenever using the static member, instead when initializing it:
#include <Core/Core.h>
using namespace Upp;

#define TFILE <test/test.t>
#include <Core/t.h>

//simple shorthand, to keep code nice looking
#define _t(X) t_GetLngString(X)

struct test{
	static const char* str;
};
const char* test::str=tt_("translation");

CONSOLE_APP_MAIN{
	SetLanguage(GetSystemLNG());
	test t;
	DUMP(_t(t.str)); //<- added _t() to translate the string at runtime
}

The _t macro is quite handy thing. It would actually work with t_ as well, but that confuses theide when syncing the translations. Maybe there could be some shorthand for t_GetLngString added in the U++, what do you think?

This is very simple:

if you have static property than you can address only: ClassName::StaticPropertyName or from method of class by simple StaticPropertyName.

Hope if this help you!

I guess calling t_GetLngString or GetLngString here is not a big problem, as IME static texts are not that frequent.

However, if we decided on shortcat synonyme, it would be better done as inline function - no need to use macro here Wink

Whatever, in this case there is no difference between inline function and macro Smile

I don't even require it in upp, I can write shortcut into my project. As you say, it is not very common case. I just wanted to note that such shortcut might be handy and to note the problem and solution here in case someone else ever runs into this situation in the future.
