The MyApp.Gettext.*_noop set of macros are designed to help in this situation. They mark the messages for extraction but do not otherwise include any code in your module.
I think the right approach is:
- Define a Gettext backend in your library in your own namespace
- Call
MyLib.Gettext.dgettext_noop("domain, "message")for each message you want to be extracted. - Call the
Gettext.dgettext(DemoWeb.Gettext, "domain", "translation")function as you normally would.
This ends up with two calls per message but one is a macro invoked at compile time (to extract the messages only) and the other is a function invoked at runtime to perform the translation.
