use Yiisoft\Translator\Message\Gettext\MessageSource;

$categorySource = new CategorySource(
    'my-category',
    new MessageSource('/path/to/messages'),
);

Create of instance of MessageSource

/** @var string $path - path to your gettext storage */
$messageSource = new \Yiisoft\Translator\Message\Gettext\MessageSource($path);

/** 
 * @var \Yiisoft\Translator\Message\Gettext\MessageSource $messageSource
 * @var ?string $translatedString
 */
$id = 'messageIdentificator';
$category = 'messages';
$language = 'de-DE';

$translatedString = $messageSource->getMessage($id, $category, $language);
