This one corrects a subtle bug and delays loading of strings (needed to setup properly the language) :

class StringTable : public Vector<String>
{
	public:
		StringTable &operator,(const char *s) { Add(s); return *this; }
		String operator[](int i) { ASSERT(i < GetCount()); return GetLngString(At(i)); }
};

#define STRINGTABLE(s) StringTable s; INITBLOCK { s,
#define ENDTABLE ; }

Stringtable must be defined with tt_ :

STRINGTABLE(Test)
    tt_("One"),
    tt_("Two"),
    tt_("Three")
ENDTABLE;

The tt_ macros are needed just to make theide export the translation; can be avoided if no need to sync translations.

Still not sure whether all of this is worth the trouble....

BTW, there IMO could be even more effective solutions. E.g.:

#include <Core/Core.h>

using namespace Upp;

struct tt_char {
	const char *s;

	String ToString() const       { return GetLngString(s); }
	operator const char *() const { return ToString(); }
};

CONSOLE_APP_MAIN
{
	static tt_char x[] = {
		tt_("Aborted by user."),
		tt_("Two"),
		tt_("Three")
	};
	
	SetLanguage(LNG_('I','T','I','T'));
	DDUMP(x[0]);
}
