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
