## Description

Translation between gettext translation domain identifier and GType.

## Functions

### GIMP_DEPRECATED_FOR()

    #define GIMP_DEPRECATED_FOR(f)

### GIMP_UNAVAILABLE()

    #define GIMP_UNAVAILABLE(maj,min)

### gimp_type_set_translation_domain ()

    void
    gimp_type_set_translation_domain (GType type,
                                      const gchar *domain);

This function attaches a constant string as a gettext translation domain identifier to a GType. The only purpose of this function is to use it when registering a G_TYPE_ENUM with translatable value names.

#### Parameters

type | a GType |
domain | a constant string that identifies a translation domain or `NULL` |

Since: 2.2

### gimp_type_get_translation_domain ()

    const gchar *
    gimp_type_get_translation_domain (GType type);

Retrieves the gettext translation domain identifier that has been previously set using `gimp_type_set_translation_domain()`. You should not need to use this function directly, use `gimp_enum_get_value()` or `gimp_enum_value_get_desc()` instead.

#### Parameters

type | a GType |

#### Returns

the translation domain associated with `type` or `NULL` if no domain was set

Since: 2.2

### gimp_type_set_translation_context ()

    void
    gimp_type_set_translation_context (GType type,
                                       const gchar *context);

This function attaches a constant string as a translation context to a GType. The only purpose of this function is to use it when registering a G_TYPE_ENUM with translatable value names.

#### Parameters

type | a GType |
context | a constant string that identifies a translation context or `NULL` |

Since: 2.8

### gimp_type_get_translation_context ()

    const gchar *
    gimp_type_get_translation_context (GType type);

Retrieves the translation context that has been previously set using `gimp_type_set_translation_context()`. You should not need to use this function directly, use `gimp_enum_get_value()` or `gimp_enum_value_get_desc()` instead.

#### Parameters

type | a GType |

#### Returns

the translation context associated with `type` or `NULL` if no context was set

Since: 2.8

### gimp_enum_set_value_descriptions ()

    void
    gimp_enum_set_value_descriptions (GType enum_type,
                                      const GimpEnumDesc *descriptions);

Sets the array of human readable and translatable descriptions and help texts for enum values.

#### Parameters

enum_type | a GType |
descriptions | a `NULL` terminated constant static array of GimpEnumDesc |

Since: 2.2

### gimp_enum_get_value_descriptions ()

    const GimpEnumDesc *
    gimp_enum_get_value_descriptions (GType enum_type);

Retreives the array of human readable and translatable descriptions and help texts for enum values.

#### Parameters

enum_type | a GType |

#### Returns

a `NULL` terminated constant array of GimpEnumDesc

Since: 2.2

### gimp_flags_get_value_descriptions ()

    const GimpFlagsDesc *
    gimp_flags_get_value_descriptions (GType flags_type);

Retreives the array of human readable and translatable descriptions and help texts for flags values.

#### Parameters

flags_type | a GType |

#### Returns

a `NULL` terminated constant array of GimpFlagsDesc

Since: 2.2

### gimp_flags_set_value_descriptions ()

    void
    gimp_flags_set_value_descriptions (GType flags_type,
                                       const GimpFlagsDesc *descriptions);

Sets the array of human readable and translatable descriptions and help texts for flags values.

#### Parameters

flags_type | a GType |
descriptions | a `NULL` terminated constant static array of GimpFlagsDesc |

Since: 2.2

## Types and Values

### GIMP_DEPRECATED

    #define GIMP_DEPRECATED

### struct GimpEnumDesc

    struct GimpEnumDesc {
      gint         value;
      const gchar *value_desc;
      const gchar *value_help;
    };

This structure is used to register translatable descriptions and help texts for enum values. See `gimp_enum_set_value_descriptions()`.

#### Members

gint `value`; | An enum value. |
const gchar *`value_desc`; | The value's description. |
const gchar *`value_help`; | The value's help text. |

### struct GimpFlagsDesc

    struct GimpFlagsDesc {
      guint        value;
      const gchar *value_desc;
      const gchar *value_help;
    };

This structure is used to register translatable descriptions and help texts for flag values. See `gimp_flags_set_value_descriptions()`.

#### Members

guint `value`; | A flag value. |
const gchar *`value_desc`; | The value's description. |
const gchar *`value_help`; | The value's help text. |
