Another use case is the string "Russian" which may have to be translated

314

if the application using the library does not have translations for

interface instead of one having partial translations. For this

feature to work, the call to <a

322
precede any <a class="link" href="glib-I18N.html#g-dgettext" title="g_dgettext ()"><code class="function">g_dgettext()</code></a> invocations. For GTK+, it means calling
