.Dd June 3, 2015 .Dt GETTEXT 1 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm gettext .Nd message translation front-end .Sh SYNOPSIS .Nm .Op Fl h .Nm .Op Fl en .Op Ar textdomain .Ar msgid .Nm .Fl s .Op Fl n .Op Ar msgid ... .Sh DESCRIPTION .Nm attempts to translate a given .Ar msgid into the locale-specific string as determined by the environment. If a translation file is not found, or a translation for the given .Ar msgid is not found, the original string will be echoed.
p If the .Ar textdomain is not provided as an argument, the .Ev TEXTDOMAIN environment variable will be consulted instead.
p By default .Nm will look for message catalogs in
a /usr/share/locale . If the environment variable .Ev TEXTDOMAINDIR is defined, then that will override the default location.
p The following flags are available: l -tag -width Ds t Fl e Interpret backslash escape sequences prior to translation. t Fl h Print the usage information t Fl n If .Fl s is used, do not add the trailing newline. If .Fl s is not provided, this flag will do nothing. t Fl s Act similarly to .Xr echo 1 . All .Ar msgid arguments will be translated, and a newline will be appended to the output string. .El .Sh ENVIRONMENT l -tag -width Ds t Ev TEXTDOMAIN The domain to use when looking up .Ar msgids . t Ev TEXTDOMAINDIR The location of message catalogs to use, overriding
a /usr/share/locale . .El .Sh EXIT STATUS .Ex -std .Sh EXAMPLES d -literal -offset indent $ LANG=es gettext grep 'writing output' escribiendo el resultado .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr echo 1 , .Xr gettext 3 , .Xr environ 7
