NAME

   ngettext - translate message and choose plural form

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