No. Resourcestrings are initialized per unit (unit name is required for 
this process), and DefaultTranslator knows nothing about your unit names.

Initializing resourcestrings is simple. See translations.pas header or 
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/Translations_/_i18n_/_localizations_for_programs 
.
