Can you initialize variables in the var declation section using a function in Delphi?

Question

I'm kind of rusty on Delphi. Used in the early nineties but am C# programmer now. I'm current working on a Delphi project.

I have to transform a lot of .pas file for localization of strings. I've written a C# program to do the transformation. The idea is to parse all .pas files an everywhere there a Dutch text string replace it with call to our language routines. I now find the problem that there a lot of constants in many of the units that have to transform to variables. The current implementation does it like this but this doesn't compile:

before: unit _TypesConstantsCommon;

interface

uses System.SysUtils;

const
  

    cDEELPRJN_OMSCHRIJVING_OPSTELLEN_OFFERTE = 'Opstellen offerte';

after:

unit _TypesConstantsCommon;

interface

uses System.SysUtils;

var

      cDEELPRJN_OMSCHRIJVING_OPSTELLEN_OFFERTE:string = TLanguagesManager.GetSingleton.GetText(c_TypesConstantsCommon1);

Is this at all possible? If not what should I generate to get this done?
