Usage: /usr/bin/gettext [OPTION] [[TEXTDOMAIN] MSGID] or: /usr/bin/gettext [OPTION] -s [MSGID]... Display native language translation of a textual message. Options and arguments: -d, --domain=TEXTDOMAIN retrieve translated messages from TEXTDOMAIN -c, --context=CONTEXT specify context for MSGID -e enable expansion of some escape sequences -n suppress trailing newline -E (ignored for compatibility) [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 'echo' command. But it does not simply copy its arguments to stdout. Instead those messages found in the selected catalog are translated.
