## Working with special content
 
### Just marking content for parsing
- In Ruby/HAML:
```ruby
_('Subscribe')
```
- In JavaScript:
```js
import { __ } from '../../../locale';
const label = __('Subscribe');
```
Sometimes there are some dynamic translations that can't be found by the
parser when running `bundle exec rake gettext:find`. For these scenarios you can
use the [`_N` method](https://github.com/grosser/gettext_i18n_rails/blob/c09e38d481e0899ca7d3fc01786834fa8e7aab97/Readme.md#unfound-translations-with-rake-gettextfind).
There is also and alternative method to [translate messages from validation errors](https://github.com/grosser/gettext_i18n_rails/blob/c09e38d481e0899ca7d3fc01786834fa8e7aab97/Readme.md#option-a).
### Interpolation
 
- In Ruby/HAML:
 
```ruby
_("Hello %{name}") % { name: 'Joe' }
_("Hello %{name}") % { name: 'Joe' } => 'Hello Joe'
```
 
- In JavaScript: Not supported at this moment.

```js
import { __, sprintf } from '../../../locale';
sprintf(__('Hello %{username}'), { username: 'Joe' }) => 'Hello Joe'
