`context` not available in `$gettext` #27

Closed simensol closed 2 years ago

Why isn't context available in $gettext, while it's available as the first argument of $pgettext?

Hi @simensol, I'm not sure I understand. The $gettext function is for common/"global" translations and $pgettext is made specifically to work with a message context to be able to translate the same message differently depending on where in your application it is used. So if you need a context, you just use $pgettext instead of $gettext (the function names and signatures are inspired by the GNU gettext utilities).

I thought $gettext wasn't able to interpolate, and that I had to use $pgettext for interpolation. My wrong!
