Question

How do you mix underscorejs and gettext for _(“”)?

What do you think is better to give gettext another function name or rename underscorejs?

Answer 1

You can use Underscore’s noConflict method, for example:

// gettext is already loaded here,
// so _ variable points to Gettext instance

var underscore = _.noConflict();

Now you can access Underscore’s methods from underscore variable and gettext’s from _.

UPD: Excuse me, misunderstood. Personally, I think the one should reserve _ for Underscore and use gt for Gettext. The reason behind it is that using Underscore and seeing it as _ seems to be more common for JS developers.
