This function returns the translation of string {\it str} in the current
\helpref{locale}{wxlocale}. If the string is not found in any of the loaded
message catalogs (see \helpref{internationalization overview}{internationalization}), the
original string is returned. In debug build, an error message is logged -- this
-should help to find the strings which were not yet translated. As this function
+should help to find the strings which were not yet translated. If
+{\it domain} is specified then only that domain/catalog is searched
+for a matching string. As this function
is used very often, an alternative (and also common in Unix world) syntax is
provided: the \helpref{\_()}{underscore} macro is defined to do the same thing
as wxGetTranslation.
The same as \helpref{wxSnprintf}{wxsnprintf} but takes a {\tt va\_list }
argument instead of arbitrary number of parameters.

+\membersection{::wxAboutBox}\label{wxaboutbox}
+
+\func{void}{wxAboutBox}{\param{const wxAboutDialogInfo\& }{info}}
+
+This function shows the standard about dialog containing the information
+specified in \arg{info}. If the current platform has a native about dialog
+which is capable of showing all the fields in \arg{info}, the native dialog is
+used, otherwise the function falls back to the generic wxWidgets version of the
+dialog, i.e. does the same thing as \helpref{wxGenericAboutBox()}{wxgenericaboutbox}.
+
+Here is an example of how this function may be used:
+\begin{verbatim}
+void MyFrame::ShowSimpleAboutDialog(wxCommandEvent& WXUNUSED(event))
+{
+ wxAboutDialogInfo info;
+ info.SetName(_("My Program"));
+ info.SetVersion(_("1.2.3 Beta"));

+native one. This is mainly useful if you need to customize the dialog by e.g.
