DefaultTranslator unit is quite simplistic and more meant to be an example.

In order to translate your application dynamically you should manually 
load .po files at runtime using functions (e. g. 
TranslateUnitResourceStrings) from Translations unit. See its header for 
examples. Also there is a number of program sources to look at bundled 
with Lazarus, e. g. lazarus\tools\lazdatadesktop (see TranslateStrs 
procedure at the end of frmmain.pp).
