| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| .\" Add any additional description here |
| The \fBgettext\fP program translates a natural language message into the |
| user's language, by looking up the translation in a message catalog. |
| .PP |
| Display native language translation of a textual message. |
| .TP |
| \fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-domain\fR=\fITEXTDOMAIN\fR |
| retrieve translated messages from TEXTDOMAIN |
| .TP |
| \fB\-e\fR |

| .TP |
| \fB\-E\fR |

| .TP |
| \fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR |
| display this help and exit |
| .TP |
| \fB\-n\fR |
| suppress trailing newline |
| .TP |
| \fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR |

| .TP |
| [TEXTDOMAIN] MSGID |
| retrieve translated message corresponding |
| to MSGID from TEXTDOMAIN |
| .PP |
| 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 \fB\-s\fR 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 |
