# About translation function names
The standard GNU gettext defines helper functions that maps to the `gettext()` function and it's widely adopted by most implementations.
The basic translation function is usually `_()` in the form:
```
_("Translate this")
```
In Go, this can't be implemented by a reusable package as the function name has to start with a capital letter in order to be exported.
Each implementation of this package can declare this helper functions inside their own packages if this function naming are desired/needed:
```go
package main
import "github.com/leonelquinteros/gotext"
func _(str string, vars ...interface{}) string {
return gotext.Get(str, vars...)
}
```
This is valid and can be used within a package.
In normal conditions the Go compiler will optimize the calls to `_()` by replacing its content in place of the function call to reduce the function calling overhead.
This is a normal Go compiler behavior.
