Before the strings from your application can be translated, they need to
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
be extracted from the source code.
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
Wrap messages or string literals in your code with the
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
'_() ' macro.

<note>
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
For C, this macro is defined in the <file>glib/gi18n.h</file> header
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
file, which must be included at the top of your application source.
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |

|
|

Your wrapped strings should look like this:
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
_("Press a key to continue")
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
This marks the strings as translatable, and at runtime calls
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
<app>gettext</app> to substitute the translated strings.
