How do I create a NSArray of NSString constants?

Ok this may sound weird but here is what I need to do.

I need to create a constant NSArray of string constants that I have. So for example I have

NSString* GB_Submit_Period1 = @"GB_Submit_Period1";
NSString* GB_Submit_Period2 = @"GB_Submit_Period2";
NSString* GB_Submit_Period3 = @"GB_Submit_Period3";
NSString* GB_Submit_Period4 = @"GB_Submit_Period4";
NSString* GB_Submit_Period5 = @"GB_Submit_Period5";
NSString* GB_Submit_Period6 = @"GB_Submit_Period6";
NSString* GB_Submit_Period7 = @"GB_Submit_Period7";
NSString* GB_Submit_Period8 = @"GB_Submit_Period8";
NSString* GB_Submit_Period9 = @"GB_Submit_Period9";
NSString* GB_Submit_Period10 = @"GB_Submit_Period10";
NSString* GB_Submit_Period11 = @"GB_Submit_Period11";
NSString* GB_Submit_Period12 = @"GB_Submit_Period12";

and each of the @"<strings above>" is defined in my Localizable.strings file. But what I really need to do is to create an NSArray of these strings. So for example something like this

NSArray* GB_Period_Number_Strings_Array = {@"GB_Submit_Period1", @"GB_Submit_Period2", @"GB_Submit_Period3", @"GB_Submit_Period4", @"GB_Submit_Period5", @"GB_Submit_Period6", @"GB_Submit_Period7", @"GB_Submit_Period8", @"GB_Submit_Period9", @"GB_Submit_Period10", @"GB_Submit_Period11", @"GB_Submit_Period12" };

So I can access these strings whenever I need them, based on there position in the array. I seem to get complier warnings when I try this above:

What am I doing wrong here? Can I not create a constant NSArray like this? If not then how can I accomplish what I want to do, without going to a switch statement to choose the correct localized NSString or something like that?

Any help would be appreciated.
