 * Hi,
 * We are currently trying to configure automatic translation with the Google Translate
   api. Everything is working fine except for one thing.
 * The strings in our theme which are inside a translate function __() are not translated.
   But we want them to be translated. How can we get this done?
 * In the documentation it says this should work automatically. [https://translatepress.com/docs/developers/disable-translation-of-gettext-strings/](https://translatepress.com/docs/developers/disable-translation-of-gettext-strings/)

 * Hi,
 * Could you give me an example of this string? Screenshots or page links will help.
 * Do you use that custom plugin? It basically disables the detection of all gettext
   strings, transforming them into regular ones. So basically for the exact gettext
   string, you will have one translatable from Translation Editor in original language,
   and another one (if you use just one additional language), its translation, in
   the additional language in Translation Editor.
 * Let me know if I wasn’t clear enough.
