1.20.x locale.module locale($string = NULL, $context = NULL, $langcode = NULL)

Provides interface translation services.

This function is called from t() to translate a string if needed.

Parameters

$string: A string to look up translation for. If omitted, all the cached strings will be returned in all languages already used on the page.

$context: The context of this string.

$langcode: Language code to use for the lookup.

File

modules/locale/locale.module, line 531
Add language handling functionality and enables the translation of the user interface to languages other than English.

Code
