Function

GLibdpgettext

Declaration

const gchar*
g_dpgettext (
  const gchar* domain,
  const gchar* msgctxtid,
  gsize msgidoffset
)

Description

This function is a variant of g_dgettext() which supports a disambiguating message context. GNU gettext uses the ‘\004’ character to separate the message context and message id in msgctxtid. If 0 is passed as msgidoffset, this function will fall back to trying to use the deprecated convention of using “|” as a separation character.

This uses g_dgettext() internally. See that functions for differences with dgettext() proper.

Applications should normally not use this function directly, but use the C_() macro for translations with context.

Available since:

2.16
