That's a shortcut for the "gettext()" call. This call is used in UNIX internationalization, to allow messages to be translated into another locale other than the one it was written in. Essentially, some ".po" files contain maps from the native-language string into another translation, such as German. Then, if a user has selected german as her locale, for instance, LANG=de-de, then gettext call returns the German version of the string.

GNU has a nice page about explaining it: http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/

gettext - Lookup a message in the current domain

SYNOPSIS

       string gettext (string  $message)

DESCRIPTION

	Looks up a message in the current domain.

PARAMETERS

	      o $message
		- The message being translated.

RETURN VALUES

	Returns a translated string if one is found in the translation table, or the submitted message if not found.

EXAMPLES

       Example #1

	      gettext(3)-check

	      <?php
	      // Set language to German
	      putenv('LC_ALL=de_DE');
	      setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE');

	      // Specify location of translation tables
	      bindtextdomain("myPHPApp", "./locale");

	      // Choose domain
	      textdomain("myPHPApp");

	      // Translation is looking for in ./locale/de_DE/LC_MESSAGES/myPHPApp.mo now

	      // Print a test message
	      echo gettext("Welcome to My PHP Application");

	      // Or use the alias _() for gettext()
	      echo _("Have a nice day");
	      ?>

NOTES

       Note

	       You may use the underscore character '_' as an alias to this function.

       Note

	       Setting a language isn't enough for some systems and the putenv(3) should be used to define the current locale.
