Here is an example which should make it more clear: suppose that you have a
static array of strings containing the weekday names and which have to be
translated (note that it is a bad example, really, as
wxDateTime already can be used to get the localized week
day names already). If you write

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. In
debug build, an error message is logged -- this should help 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().

The second form is used when retrieving translation of string that has
different singular and plural form in English or different plural forms in some
other language. It takes two extra arguments: as above, @e str
parameter must contain the singular form of the string to be converted and
is used as the key for the search in the catalog. The @a strPlural parameter
is the plural form (in English). The parameter @a n is used to determine the
plural form. If no message catalog is found @a str is returned if 'n == 1',
otherwise @e strPlural.
See GNU gettext manual
for additional information on plural forms handling. For a shorter alternative
see the wxPLURAL() macro.
Both versions call wxLocale::GetString.
Note that this function is not suitable for literal strings in Unicode
builds, since the literal strings must be enclosed into
_T() or wxT() macro which makes them
unrecognised by @c xgettext, and so they are not extracted to the message
catalog. Instead, use the _() and
wxPLURAL() macro for all literal strings.
