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
