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 variable TEXTDOMAINDIR.  When used with the  -s  option
   the  program  behaves  like the 'echo' command.  But it does not simply
   copy its arguments to stdout.  Instead  those  messages  found  in  the
   selected   catalog   are   translated.    Standard   search  directory:
   /usr/share/locale
