<h2>SYNOPSIS

gettext
[OPTION] [[TEXTDOMAIN] MSGID] 
gettext [OPTION] -s [MSGID]...

<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>

The
gettext program translates a natural language message
into the user&rsquo;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

-c,
--context=CONTEXT

specify context for MSGID

[TEXTDOMAIN] MSGID

retrieve translated message
corresponding to MSGID from TEXTDOMAIN

Informative
output: 
-h, --help

display this help and exit

-V,
--version

display version information and
exit

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 &rsquo;echo&rsquo; command. But it
does not simply copy its arguments to stdout. Instead those
messages found in the selected catalog are translated.
