gettext

Translates a string using stored translations in a compiled .mo file. Translations are stored in /usr/share/locale/<locale_name>/LC_MESSAGES/ with domain being the filename without its extension. See also: msgfmt, msgunfmt. More information: https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#gettext-Invocation.

LANGUAGE={{locale}} gettext {{[-d|--domain]}} {{domain}} "{{msgid}}"

• Display help:

gettext {{[-h|--help]}}

• Display gettext version:

gettext {{[-V|--version]}}
