* ''_c(char *, char *)'' - Another way to mark strings. It attaches the string to a context so that we can have different translations for the same string. The second argument is the context. | * ''_c(char *, char *)'' - Another way to mark strings. It attaches the string to a context so that we can have different translations for the same string.

* ''_s(char *)'' - Function used to mark static string constants. For instance, when you have static arrays which need to be translated. In this case you mark these strings with _s(), and then use ''_()'' or ''_c()'' at the place where you need to perform the substitution. | * ''_s(char *)'' - Function used to mark static string constants.

In the above example "None" can be translated differently depending if it refers to a path or a soundfont. | In the above example foo can be translated differently depending if it is attached to the context "lowres" or not. | ||
"None" can also be translated differently depending if it refers to a path or a soundfont. | |||
