Gtk-3.0 ▶ Gtk ▶ stock_set_translate_funcDeprecated 3.10Since 2.8

Sets a function to be used for translating the label of a stock item.

If no function is registered for a translation domain, g_dgettext() is used.

The function is used for all stock items whose translation_domain matches domain. Note that it is possible to use strings different from the actual gettext translation domain of your application for this, as long as your Gtk.TranslateFunc uses the correct domain when calling dgettext(). This can be useful, e.g. when dealing with message contexts:

GtkStockItem items[] = {
 { MY_ITEM1, NC_("odd items", "Item 1"), 0, 0, "odd-item-domain" },
 { MY_ITEM2, NC_("even items", "Item 2"), 0, 0, "even-item-domain" },
};

gchar *
my_translate_func (const gchar *msgid,
                   gpointer     data)
{
  gchar *msgctxt = data;

  return (gchar*)g_dpgettext2 (GETTEXT_PACKAGE, msgctxt, msgid);
}

...

gtk_stock_add (items, G_N_ELEMENTS (items));
gtk_stock_set_translate_func ("odd-item-domain", my_translate_func, "odd items");
gtk_stock_set_translate_func ("even-item-domain", my_translate_func, "even items");
