SYNOPSIS

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 grammat-
ical form depends on a number.

-e enable expansion of some escape sequences
-E (ignored for compatibility)
-h, --help

-V, --version

[TEXTDOMAIN]

MSGID MSGID-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 variable TEXTDOMAINDIR. Standard search directory:
/usr/share/locale
