[Question] Any official way to add new gettext functions?

[OwenMelbz]

Hi,

We're in the process of translating a prebuilt wordpress site that uses _e to echo translations.

Currently we're using your extractor, by pushing a custom function to the extractor config using

Gettext\Extractors\PhpCode::$options['functions']['_e'] = 'gettext';

Is there an official method/api to do this? Or would this be considered as acceptable?

Thanks

Hi.
This is the only way in version v3.x
In v4 you can pass the options as an argument:

$translations = Translations::fromPhpCodeFile('my-file.php', [
    'functions' => [
        '_e' => 'gettext'
    ]
]);
