### Function

# GLib dpgettext2

since: 2.18

#### Declaration

    const gchar*
    g_dpgettext2 (
      const gchar* domain,
      const gchar* context,
      const gchar* msgid
    )

#### Description

This function is a variant of `g_dgettext()` which supports a disambiguating message context. GNU gettext uses the ‘\004’ character to separate the message context and message id in `msgctxtid`.

This uses `g_dgettext()` internally. See that functions for differences with `dgettext()` proper.

This function differs from C_() in that it is not a macro and thus you may use non-string-literals as context and msgid arguments.
