translate_user_role() – Function | Developer.WordPress.org

Translates role name.

Description

Since the role names are in the database and not in the source there are dummy gettext calls to get them into the POT file and this function properly translates them back.

The before_last_bar() call is needed, because older installations keep the roles using the old context format: ‘Role name|User role’ and just skipping the content after the last bar is easier than fixing them in the DB. New installations won’t suffer from that problem.

Parameters

$namestringrequired: The role name.
$domainstringoptional: Text domain. Unique identifier for retrieving translated strings.
Default 'default'.
Default:'default'

Return

string Translated role name on success, original name on failure.

Source

* @return string[] An array of language codes or an empty array if no languages are present.
*                  Language codes are formed by stripping the file extension from the language file names.

Always make sure that the first letter of $name is Capitalized!
For example this will fail and return the original $name
```
translate_user_role( 'administrator' ); // return administrator
```
but this one will return the translation of $name
```
translate_user_role( 'Administrator' ); // return translation of Administrator
```
