jshmrtn,

Great work!

I use _() as translation function with other languages previously, and prefer it.

So is it possible to use _() with vue3-gettext also? if it is , how to do it?

e.g.

Thanks!

Hi @jumpapex, I'm sorry to disappoint, but not really, for a couple reasons:

there is not just 1 translation function but 4 different ones. (these rougly follow the naming from the gnu gettext manual).
while you could alias $gettext to _ in your project, the extraction script is currently not configurable so will not be able to extract your messages from _("my message")
