Would it then be possible to implement a counter (const) which is increased at 
compile time?
p1( increasedcounteratcompiletime , 'Textsnippet' ) ?

I guess it is not possible.

It may is in the beginning more difficult to implement, but if it runs once I 
would say this can not get much more simpler.

You only have to put p1( ) around your text snippet. That is it!
The function returns the right language.

That means more work to give every text snippet explicitly a name which is not 
necessary with my solution. And that means also less flexibility.

The resourcestring solution does not record the date and time when a text was 
changed and so on...
