     ngettext [OPTION] [TEXTDOMAIN] MSGID MSGID-PLURAL COUNT

The ngettext program displays the native language translation of a textual message whose grammatical form depends on a number.

Arguments

-c CONTEXT
--context=CONTEXT
     Specify the context for the messages to be translated. See Contexts for details.

-d TEXTDOMAIN
--domain=TEXTDOMAIN
     Retrieve translated messages from TEXTDOMAIN.  Usually a TEXTDOMAIN corresponds to a package, a program, or a module of a program.

-e
     Enable expansion of some escape sequences.  This option is for compatibility with the gettext program.  The escape sequences \a, \b, \c, \f, \n, \r, \t, \v, \\, and \ followed by one to three octal digits, are interpreted like the System V echo program did.

-E
     This option is only for compatibility with the gettext program.  It has no effect.

-h
--help
     Display this help and exit.

-V
--version
     Output version information and exit.

MSGID MSGID-PLURAL

COUNT

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.
