NAME
ngettext - translate message and choose plural form
SYNOPSIS
ngettext [OPTION] [TEXTDOMAIN] MSGID MSGID-PLURAL COUNT
DESCRIPTION
The ngettext program translates a natural language message into the
user's language, by looking up the translation in a message catalog,
and chooses the appropriate plural form, which depends on the number
COUNT and the language of the message catalog where the translation was
found.
Display native language translation of a textual message whose
grammatical form depends on a number.
-d, --domain=TEXTDOMAIN
retrieve translated message from TEXTDOMAIN
-c, --context=CONTEXT
specify context for MSGID
-e enable expansion of some escape sequences
-E (ignored for compatibility)
[TEXTDOMAIN]
retrieve translated message from TEXTDOMAIN
MSGID MSGID-PLURAL
translate MSGID (singular) / MSGID-PLURAL (plural)
COUNT choose singular/plural form based on this value
Informative output:
-h, --help
display this help and exit
-V, --version
display version information and exit
If the TEXTDOMAIN parameter is not given, the domain is determined from
the environment variable TEXTDOMAIN. If the message catalog is not
found in the regular directory, another location can be specified with
the environment variable TEXTDOMAINDIR. Standard search directory:
/usr/local/share/locale
