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
