DESCRIPTION
The 
ngettext program translates a natural language
message into the user's language, by looking up the
translation in a message catalog, and chooses the
appropriate plural form, which depends on the number
COUNT and the language of the message catalog where
the translation was found.
Display native language translation of a textual message
whose grammatical form depends on a number.
-d, --domain=TEXTDOMAIN retrieve translated message from TEXTDOMAIN
-e enable expansion of some escape sequences
-E (ignored for compatibility)
-h, --help display this help and exit
-V, --version display 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. Standard search directory:
/usr/share/locale
