Hi I just got into wordpress theme development and I have seen many developers when setting the attribute for in for a function in an array use this sintax:

'name' => __( 'Portfolio'),   
'singular_name' => __('Portfolio'),

I have tryed it and I could not find it any difference then writing it like this:

'name' => 'Portfolio',   
'singular_name' => 'Portfolio',

Aldo I am a total beginner in both php and wordpress so maybe that’s why.

So is there a difference beetween the two ways of writing?If so witch is better?
