 * Hi,
 * Is it possible to add a translation/text domain to a shortcode?
    In my theme 
   I use the standard code to translate a line, like: `<?php _e('Hello, this is 
   text', 'domain'); ?>`
 * But how can I implement this into my shortcode with a domain?
    Like:
 *     ```
       $shortcode .= '<span>Hello, this text should be translated.</span>';
       return $shortcode;
       ```
   
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Hi jasonsweb, you can do it like this:
 *     ```
       $shortcode .= '<span>' . __( 'Hello, this text should be translated', 'domain' ) . '</span>';
       return $shortcode;
       ```
