I want all texts in TextBlock, Label, MenuItem.Header to be displayed in upper case. The strings are taken from a ResourceDictionary e.g.: 

<TextBlock Text="{StaticResource String1}"/>
<MenuItem Header="{StaticResource MenuItemDoThisAndThat}"/>

etc. (also for Label and other controls)

I cannot use a value converter because there is no binding. I don't want to make the strings upper case in the dictionary itself.

You still can use a converter, just set the textvalue in the source of the binding : 

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Source={StaticResource String1},  Converter ={StaticResource myConverter}}"/>
