* The advantage of using this function over dgettext() proper is that

* precede any g_dgettext() invocations. For GTK+, it means calling
* textdomain() before gtk_init or its variants.
*
* This function disables translations if and only if upon its first
* call all the following conditions hold:
*
* - @domain is not %NULL
*
* - textdomain() has been called to set a default text domain
*
* - there is no translations available for the default text domain
* and the current locale
*
* - current locale is not "C" or any English locales (those
* starting with "en_")
*
* Note that this behavior may not be desired for example if an application
* has its untranslated messages in a language other than English. In those
* cases the application should call textdomain() after initializing GTK+.

* SECTION:i18n
* @title: Internationalization
* @short_description: gettext support macros
* @see_also: the gettext manual
*
* GLib doesn't force any particular localization method upon its users.
* But since GLib itself is localized using the gettext() mechanism, it seems
* natural to offer the de-facto standard gettext() support macros in an
* easy-to-use form.
*
* In order to use these macros in an application, you must include
* <filename>glib/gi18n.h</filename>. For use in a library, you must include
* <filename>glib/gi18n-lib.h</filename> after defining the %GETTEXT_PACKAGE
* macro suitably for your library:
* |[
* &num;define GETTEXT_PACKAGE "gtk20"
* &num;include &lt;glib/gi18n-lib.h&gt;
* ]|
* For an application, note that you also have to call bindtextdomain(),
* bind_textdomain_codeset(), textdomain() and setlocale() early on in your
* main() to make gettext() work.
*
* For a library, you only have to call bindtextdomain() and
* bind_textdomain_codeset() in your initialization function. If your library
* doesn't have an initialization function, you can call the functions before
* the first translated message.
*
* The gettext manual covers details of how to set up message extraction
* with xgettext.
