<h2>DESCRIPTION
|
|
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
|
|
</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The
|
|
<b>ngettext</b>, <b>dngettext</b> and <b>dcngettext</b>
|
|
functions attempt to translate a text string into the
|
|
user’s native language, by looking up the appropriate
|
|
plural form of the translation in a message catalog.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Plural forms
|
|
are grammatical variants depending on the a number. Some
|
|
languages have two forms, called singular and plural. Other
|
|
languages have three forms, called singular, dual and
|
|
plural. There are also languages with four forms.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The
|
|
<b>ngettext</b>, <b>dngettext</b> and <b>dcngettext</b>
|
|
functions work like the <b>gettext</b>, <b>dgettext</b> and
|
|
<b>dcgettext</b> functions, respectively. Additionally, they
|
|
choose the appropriate plural form, which depends on the
|
|
number <i>n</i> and the language of the message catalog
|
|
where the translation was found.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">In the
|
|
"C" locale, or if none of the used catalogs
|
|
contain a translation for <i>msgid</i>, the <b>ngettext</b>,
|
|
<b>dngettext</b> and <b>dcngettext</b> functions return
|
|
<i>msgid</i> if <i>n</i> == 1, or <i>msgid_plural</i> if
|
|
<i>n</i> != 1.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>RETURN VALUE
|
|
<a name="RETURN VALUE"></a>
|
|
</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If a
|
|
translation was found in one of the specified catalogs, the
|
|
appropriate plural form is converted to the locale’s
|
|
codeset and returned. The resulting string is statically
|
|
allocated and must not be modified or freed. Otherwise
|
|
<i>msgid</i> or <i>msgid_plural</i> is returned, as
|
|
described above.</p>
