GNU gettext for Delphi, C++ Builder and Kylix 1.2 beta

# function dgettext(Domain: string; MsgId: widestring): widestring;

This function is identical to `gettext()`, except that it looks up translations in the text domain that is specified as the first parameter. You should always specify a string literal as first parameter - don't use variable names etc.:

    LanguageList.Add(dgettext('languagenames','Danish'));

In this example, Danish is looked up in `languagenames.mo`. During extraction of strings from Delphi/ObjectPascal source code, 'Danish' will be put into `languagenames.po`.

| Special note for C/C++ programmers
| The string extraction tool that is used for C and C++ source code extracts differently than the extraction tool for ObjectPascal source code. In the example above, the string `'Danish'` will be put in the main default.po file, mixing everything up.

For further information on this subject, please see the Section called function gettext(msg:widestring):widestring;>.
