Thank you!

I find it define in odoo/tools/translate.py as:
_ = GettextAlias()

But GettextAlias is define as a class, not a string type, How can it translate a class to string?


class GettextAlias(object):
    def _get_db(self):
        # find current DB based on thread/worker db name (see netsvc)
        db_name = getattr(threading.currentThread(), 'dbname', None)
        if db_name:
            return odoo.sql_db.db_connect(db_name)
...............
 

Best Regards！

Odoo cannot automatically export translatable terms so they must be marked explicitly for export. This is done by wrapping a literal string in a function call. so for python, the wrapping function is odoo._().

NB:
Only literal strings can be marked for exports, not expressions or variables. For situations where strings are formatted, this means the format string must be marked, not the formatted string
