_c (deprecated) by _x

[arena]

_x is declaring _c as deprecated, however _x and _c are not doing the same thing

reminder :

function _c( $text, $domain = 'default' ) {
    _deprecated_function( __FUNCTION__, '2.9', '_x()' );
    return before_last_bar( translate( $text, $domain ) );
}

function _x( $single, $context, $domain = 'default' ) {
    return translate_with_gettext_context( $single, $context, $domain );
}

_x should clean up the string calling : before_last_bar()

after analysing the code, i really do not understand how the $context variable is handled as it is not present in the po/mo files

thank you for your explanations

The old way of adding context to strings was to use a bar. For example, _c('Post|noun'). The translators would keep the bar in and _c() would strip off everything after the last bar.

We now use gettext context, thus it is a separate argument. It's not a drop-in replacement, as what would go after a bar instead needs to be its own argument.

If you use makepot, the context will carry into the various files.

Tickets are not the correct place to ask these questions. It seems to be a pattern of some of your tickets. That's okay, but you'd be better off trying a mailing list or IRC.

If you use makepot. Do you have any documentation on this (​http://www.google.fr/search?q=makepot). It seems to be a pattern of some of your tickets

unfortunately my plugin has some text in xml files so i am afraid this is not supported by makepot.php

And how is it supported by WordPress's translation functions then?
