WordPress translate string in array

Question

I have created a WordPress theme options page in which all options/settings are in an array. Now those strings in the arrays refuse to be translated.

How can I get it so that the strings in my arrays will be translated?

// create theme options
global $cc_options;
$cc_options = array (

// General settings
    array(  'name'      => __('General', 'cc_language'),
            'slug'      => 'general',
            'status'    => 'active',
            'type'      => 'section'),

    array(  'name'      => __('Setup some general settings for the website.', 'cc_language'),
            'type'      => 'section_desc'),

    array(  'type'      => 'open'),

    array(  'name'      => __('Breadcrumbs', 'cc_language'),
            'type'      => 'section_category'),

    array(  'name'      => __('Enable breadcrumbs', 'cc_language'),
            'desc'      => __('Check to enable breadcrumbs on pages and posts.', 'cc_language'),
            'id'        => 'breadcrumbs',
            'type'      => 'checkbox',
            'std'       => 'true'),

    array(  'type'      => 'close'),    
);

Is this code happening inside some function? Or it's like this in functions.php? — brasofilo

Your options array needs to be defined after wordpress has initalized its translation routines. Try putting the declaration in an init action hook.

Thank you so much Adam! That worked! For others, the solution: I wrapped the code in function options_setup() { and add_action('admin_init', 'options_setup');
