Internationalization
====================

.. function:: gettext(message_id, [language[, \**variables]])

   Return the message translated into the ``language``.

   The ``message_id`` is the ``XML`` id for the ``ir.message`` that is to be
   translated, and the ``variables`` keyword arguments are used as a mapping to
   format the string.
   If ``language`` is not set, then the :attr:`Transaction.language
   <trytond.transaction.Transaction.language>` is used.

.. function:: lazy_gettext(message_id, [language[, \**variables]])

   Return a LazyString that will be translated with gettext later when actually
   used.
