POEdit picks up the JS class names because they are in the _() function in the minified version. Any way to exclude this?

Hi

I hope this is the right place to ask this.

I have a custom made multilingual website and I'm using Splide now to create a slideshow.

I use POEdit to edit my translation files. I now noticed that I am getting 3 new strings to be translated: splide__arrows, splide__progress and splide__autoplay. I believe because they are wrapped in the _() function.

Is this intentional? Is there any way I can exclude these?

When I use production mode to bundle up my scripts, they show up but when I use development, they don't show up.

Hope that is clear. Thanks

That's because the minifier optimized the function name to _().
Use the non-minified version and minify it by yourself, or exclude the path by POEdit (I don't know if it supports that or not).

Thanks. Excluding the path to the js file solved the issue. In case someone else comes across the same issue:

Open the .po file in Poedit, go to Catalog > Properties > Source paths > Excluded paths
