Warning: This function has been deprecated. Use _x() instead.
_c() WordPress Function
The c() function is used to retrieve the value of a specific key from an array. The function takes two arguments: the array to search and the key to look for. If the key is found, the value associated with that key is returned. If the key is not found, an empty string is returned.
_c( string $text, string $domain = 'default' ) #
Retrieve translated string with vertical bar context
Description
Quite a few times, there will be collisions with similar translatable text found in more than two places but with different translated context.
In order to use the separate contexts, the _c() function is used and the translatable string uses a pipe (‘|’) which has the context the string is in.
When the translated string is returned, it is everything before the pipe, not including the pipe character. If there is no pipe in the translated text then everything is returned.

Parameters
- $text
