In order to make a string translatable you have to use one of the following pseudofunctions in your code: | In order to make a string translatable you have to use one of the following pseudofunctions in your code: | ||

* ''_s(char *)'' - Function used to mark static string constants. For instance, when you have static arrays which need to be translated.

It attaches the string to a context so that we can have different translations for the same string. The second argument is the context. | ||

StaticTextWidget *soundfont = new StaticTextWidget(this, "name", _("None", "soundfont")); | |||

In the above example "None" can be translated differently depending if it refers to a path or a soundfont. | |||
