user's language, by looking up the translation in a message catalog.

[TEXTDOMAIN] MSGID
retrieve translated message corresponding

If the TEXTDOMAIN parameter is not given, the domain is determined from the

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.
