gettext - Unix, Linux Command
NAME
gettext - translate message
SYNOPSIS
gettext [OPTION] [[TEXTDOMAIN] MSGID]
gettext [OPTION] -s [MSGID]...
DESCRIPTION
The gettext program translates a natural language message into the
users language, by looking up the translation in a message catalog.
Display native language translation of a textual message.
Tag | Description |
-d, --domain=TEXTDOMAIN
| |
retrieve translated messages from TEXTDOMAIN
|
-e
|
enable expansion of some escape sequences
|
-E
|
(ignored for compatibility)
|
-h, --help
|

|
-n

|
-V, --version

|
[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
