_x( string $text, string $context, string $domain = 'default' )

Retrieve translated string with gettext context.

Description

Quite a few times, there will be collisions with similar translatable text found in more than two places, but with different translated context.

By including the context in the pot file, translators can translate the two strings differently.

Parameters

$text

(string) (Required) Text to translate.

$context

(string) (Required) Context information for the translators.

$domain

(string) (Optional) Text domain. Unique identifier for retrieving translated strings.

Default value: 'default'

Return

(string) Translated context string without pipe.

	return translate_with_gettext_context( $text, $context, $domain );
