Hi When using domain translation, translation will not work because translation string are not found when using e.g.:

$l->_d('myDomain', 'translate me');

The reason seems to be in the parser of the *.mo files in Zend_Translate_Adapter_Gettext.

Using poedit or xgettext to create *.mo files or:

xgettext --language=PHP --force-po -o /tmp/message.po --from-code=UTF-8 --keyword=_d:1c,2 some/files

example of po file:

-->--
msgctxt "coredomain"
msgid "Invalid class name \"%1$s\""
msgstr "Ungueltiger Klassenname \"%1$s\""
--<--

printr shows:

-->--
[_data:Zend_Translate_Adapter_Gettext:private] => Array
(
    [de_DE] => Array
    (
        [coredomainInvalid class name "%1$s"] => Ungueltiger Klassenname "%1$s"
-------------------^ a special char as delimiter (i havent find out yet!)
    )
--<--

An altern. description (in google with only one match): "http://zend-framework-community.634137.n4.nabble.com/Translating-messages-with-context-td1593226.html"

A solution without "msgctxt": Check "http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#xgettext-Invocation" -> "5.1.6 Language specific options" -> "--keyword" section and update the settings in poedit: -->--

For PHP: _, gettext, dgettext:2, dcgettext:2, ngettext:1,2, dngettext:2,3, dcngettext:2,3.
