 It's not about the software, the resulting ''.po'' file is correct, I've
 read it.

 I can use _e(), anything, it doesn't matter, it never works, I've tried
 everything; If I copy-paste the following code from my first post:
 {{{#!php
 <?php esc_html__("This is a beautiful description for this post type, but
 sadly it doesn't get translated", 'text_domain');
 }}}
 and I ''echo'' it in e.g. my sidebar, it gets correctly translated.
 However, when assigned to "description", it is not. It's weird for sure,
 but I cannot see what I'm doing wrong.
