/**
    This class allows getting translations for strings.

    In wxWidgets this class manages message catalogs which contain the
    translations of the strings used to the current language. Unlike wxLocale,
    it isn't bound to locale. It can be used either independently of, or in
    conjunction with wxLocale. In the latter case, you should initialize
    wxLocale (which creates wxTranslations instance) first; in the former, you
    need to create a wxTranslations object and Set() it manually.

    Only one wxTranslations instance is active at a time; it is set with the
    Set() method and obtained using Get().

    Unlike wxLocale, wxTranslations' primary mean of identifying language
    is by its "canonical name", i.e. ISO 639 code, possibly combined with
    ISO 3166 country code and additional modifiers (examples include
    "fr", "en_GB" or "ca@valencia"; see wxLocale::GetCanonicalName() for
    more information). This allows apps using wxTranslations API to use even
    languages not recognized by the operating system or not listed in
    wxLanguage enum.

/**
    This macro doesn't do anything in the program code -- it simply expands to
    the value of its argument.

    However it does have a purpose which is to mark the literal strings for the
    extraction into the message catalog created by @c xgettext program. Usually
    this is achieved using _() but that macro not only marks the string for
    extraction but also expands into a wxGetTranslation() call which means that
    it cannot be used in some situations, notably for static array
    initialization.

    Here is an example which should make it more clear: suppose that you have a
    static array of strings containing the names of chemical elements, which
    have to be translated. If you write:

    @code
    static const char * const elements[] = { _("Hydrogen"), _("Helium"), ... };
    ...
    // use elements[n] as usual
    @endcode

    The code would compile and run, but there would be no translations for the
    strings because static variables are initialized at a very early stage of
    program execution; that is, before the locale and paths to message catalog
    files have been set up.
    So instead you should do this:

    @code
    static const char * const elements[] = { wxTRANSLATE("Hydrogen"),
    wxTRANSLATE("Helium"), ... };
    ...
    // use wxGetTranslation(elements[n])
    @endcode

    Note that if you simply omit wxTRANSLATE() above, those strings would not
    be marked for translation, and would therefore not be included in the
    message catalog. Consequently, wxGetTranslation() would not find
    translations for them.

    @return A const wxChar*.

    string need to be string literals. Be sure to use the same context when
    calling wxGetTranslation().

    @since 3.1.7
*/
#define wxTRANSLATE_IN_CONTEXT(context, string)

/**
    This function returns the translation of @a string in the current
    @c locale().

    If the string is not found in any of the loaded message catalogs (see @ref
    overview_i18n), the original string is returned. If you enable logging of
    trace messages with "i18n" mask (using wxLog::AddTraceMask()) and debug
    logging is enabled (see @ref overview_debugging), a message is also logged
    in this case -- which helps to find the strings which were not yet
    translated.

    If @a domain is specified then only that domain/catalog is searched for a
    matching string.  As this function is used very often, an alternative (and
    also common in Unix world) syntax is provided: the _() macro is defined to
    do the same thing as wxGetTranslation().

    If @a context is not empty (notice that this argument is only available
    starting from wxWidgets 3.1.1), item translation is looked up in the
    specified context. This allows having different translations for the same
    string appearing in different contexts, e.g. it may be necessary to
    translate the same English "Open" verb differently depending on the object
    it applies to. To do this, you need to use @c msgctxt in the source message
    catalog and specify different contexts for the different occurrences of the
    string and then use the same contexts in the calls to this function (or
    wxGETTEXT_IN_CONTEXT() or wxGETTEXT_IN_CONTEXT_PLURAL() macros).

    This function is thread-safe.

    @note This function is not suitable for literal strings using wxT() macro
          since this macro is not recognised by @c xgettext, and so such
          strings are not extracted to the message catalog. Instead, use the
          _() and wxPLURAL() macro for all literal strings.
