NAME
gettext - translate message
SYNOPSIS
gettext [OPTION] [[TEXTDOMAIN] MSGID]
gettext [OPTION] -s [MSGID]...
DESCRIPTION
The gettext program translates a natural language message
into the user's language, by looking up the translation in a
message catalog.
Display native language translation of a textual message.
-d, --domain=TEXTDOMAIN
retrieve translated messages from TEXTDOMAIN
-e enable expansion of some escape sequences
-E (ignored for compatibility)
-h, --help
display this help and exit
-n suppress trailing newline
-V, --version
display version information and exit
[TEXTDOMAIN] MSGID
retrieve translated message corresponding to MSGID from
TEXTDOMAIN
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 vari-
able TEXTDOMAINDIR. When used with the -s option the pro-
gram behaves like the `echo' command. But it does not sim-
ply copy its arguments to stdout. Instead those messages
found in the selected catalog are translated. Standard
search directory: /usr/share/locale
