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