Marks the given message for extraction and returns it unchanged.
This macro can be used to mark a message for extraction when mix gettext.extract
is run. The return value is the given string, so that this
macro can be used seamlessly in place of the string to extract.

@macrocallback gettext_comment(comment :: String.t()) :: :ok
Stores an "extracted comment" for the next message.
This macro can be used to add comments (Gettext refers to such
comments as extracted comments) to the next message that will
be extracted. Extracted comments will be prefixed with #.
in POT
files.
Calling this function multiple times will accumulate the comments;
when another Gettext macro (such as gettext/2
) is called,
the comments will be extracted and attached to that message, and
they will be flushed so as to start again.
This macro always returns :ok
.
examples
Examples
MyApp.Gettext.gettext_comment("The next message is awesome")
MyApp.Gettext.gettext_comment("Another comment for the next message")
MyApp.Gettext.gettext("The awesome message")
Same as dgettext_noop("default", msgid)
.
@callback handle_missing_bindings(Gettext.MissingBindingsError.t(), binary()) :: binary() | no_return()
Default handling for missing bindings.
This function is called when there are missing bindings in a message. It
takes a Gettext.MissingBindingsError
struct and the message with the
wrong bindings left as is with the %{}
syntax.
For example, if something like this is called:
MyApp.Gettext.gettext("Hello %{name}, your favorite color is %{color}", name: "Jane", color: "blue")
and our it/LC_MESSAGES/default.po
looks like this:
msgid "Hello %{name}, your favorite color is %{color}"
msgstr "Ciao %{name}, il tuo colore preferito è %{colour}" # (typo)
then Gettext will call:
MyApp.Gettext.handle_missing_bindings(exception, "Ciao Jane, il tuo colore preferito è %{colour}")
where exception
is a struct that looks like this:
%Gettext.MissingBindingsError{
backend: MyApp.Gettext,
domain: "default",
locale: "it",
msgid: "Ciao %{name}, il tuo colore preferito è %{colour}",
bindings: [:colour],
}
The return value of the handle_missing_bindings/2
callback is used as the
translated string that the message macros and functions return.
The default implementation for this function uses Logger.error/1
to warn
about the missing binding and returns the translated message with the
incomplete bindings.
This function can be overridden. For example, to raise when there are missing bindings:
def handle_missing_bindings(exception, _incomplete) do
raise exception
end
handle_missing_plural_translation(locale, domain, msgctxt, msgid, msgid_plural, n, bindings)
View Source@callback handle_missing_plural_translation( Gettext.locale(), domain :: String.t(), msgctxt :: String.t(), msgid :: String.t(), msgid_plural :: String.t(), n :: non_neg_integer(), bindings :: map() ) :: {:ok, String.t()} | {:default, String.t()} | {:missing_bindings, String.t(), [atom()]}
Default handling for plural messages with a missing message.
Same as handle_missing_translation/5
, but for plural messages.
In this case, n
is the number used for pluralizing the translated string.
Earlier versions of this library provided a callback without msgctxt. Users implementing that callback will still get the same results, but they are encouraged to switch to the new 7-argument version.
handle_missing_translation(locale, domain, msgctxt, msgid, bindings)
View Source@callback handle_missing_translation( Gettext.locale(), domain :: String.t(), msgctxt :: String.t(), msgid :: String.t(), bindings :: map() ) :: {:ok, String.t()} | {:default, String.t()} | {:missing_bindings, String.t(), [atom()]}
Default handling for messages with a missing message.
When a Gettext function/macro is called with a string to translate
into a locale but that locale doesn't provide a message for that
string, this callback is invoked. msgid
is the string that Gettext
tried to translate.
This function should return {:ok, translated}
if a message can be
fetched or constructed for the given string. If you cannot find a
message, it should return {:default, translated}
, where the
translated string defaults to the interpolated msgid. You can, however,
customize the default to, for example, pick the message from the
default locale. The important is to return :default
instead of :ok
whenever the result does not quite match the requested locale.
Earlier versions of this library provided a callback without msgctxt. Users implementing that callback will still get the same results, but they are encouraged to switch to the new 5-argument version.
