_ex() WP 3.0.0

Displays translated text (string) with specified context.

This function simply displays what _x() retrieve. For more detailed information about context translation, see the description of _x().

This is an internal function for using it by WP core itself. It's not recommended to use this function in your code.

No Hooks.

String. Nothing (null). Displays translated text or original text if the string could not be translated.

<?php _ex( $text, $context, $domain ); ?>

$text(string) (required): Text to translate.
$context(string) (required): Context information for the translators.
$domain(string): Text domain. Unique identifier for retrieving translated strings.
Default: 'default'

Here translates the string Format in the context of post format.

<?php _ex( 'Format', 'post format', 'text_domain' ); ?>

Now, for example, if we translate to Russian, this code will display the translation of Format > Формат.

Since 3.0.0

Introduced.

function _ex( $text, $context, $domain = 'default' ) {
	echo _x( $text, $context, $domain );
