SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

12       The  ngettext  program  translates  a natural language message into the
13       user's language, by looking up the translation in  a  message  catalog,
14       and  chooses  the  appropriate plural form, which depends on the number
15       COUNT and the language of the message catalog where the translation was
16       found.
17
18       Display native language translation of a textual message whose grammat‐
19       ical form depends on a number.

21       -d, --domain=TEXTDOMAIN
22              retrieve translated message from TEXTDOMAIN
23
24       -e     enable expansion of some escape sequences
25
26       -E     (ignored for compatibility)

42       If the TEXTDOMAIN parameter is not given, the domain is determined from
43       the  environment  variable  TEXTDOMAIN.   If the message catalog is not
44       found in the regular directory, another location can be specified  with
45       the  environment  variable  TEXTDOMAINDIR.   Standard search directory:
46       /usr/share/locale
