ngettext - translate message and choose plural form
ngettext [OPTION] [TEXTDOMAIN] MSGID MSGID-PLURAL COUNT
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/local/share/locale
