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
-e enable expansion of some escape sequences
-E (ignored for compatibility)
-h, --help
display this help and exit
-V, --version
display version information and exit
[TEXTDOMAIN]
retrieve translated message from TEXTDOMAIN
MSGID MSGID-PLURAL
translate MSGID (singular) / MSGID-PLURAL (plural)
COUNT
choose singular/plural form based on this value
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. Standard search directory:
/usr/share/locale
