gettext - translate message
gettext [OPTION] [[TEXTDOMAIN] MSGID]
gettext [OPTION] -s [MSGID]...
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/local/share/locale
