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?

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
