Синопсис (Synopsis)
#include <libintl.h>
char * ngettext (const char * msgid, const char * msgid_plural,
unsigned long int n);
char * dngettext (const char * domainname,
const char * msgid, const char * msgid_plural,
unsigned long int n);
char * dcngettext (const char * domainname,
const char * msgid, const char * msgid_plural,
unsigned long int n, int category);
Описание (Description)
The ngettext, dngettext and dcngettext 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.
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.
The ngettext, dngettext and dcngettext functions work like the
gettext, dgettext and dcgettext functions, respectively.
Additionally, they choose the appropriate plural form, which
depends on the number n and the language of the message catalog
where the translation was found.
In the "C" locale, or if none of the used catalogs contain a
translation for msgid, the ngettext, dngettext and dcngettext
functions return msgid if n == 1, or msgid_plural if n != 1.
Возвращаемое значение (Return value)
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 msgid or msgid_plural is
returned, as described above.
Ошибки (Error)
errno is not modified.
Ошибки (баги) (Bugs)
The return type ought to be const char *, but is char * to avoid
warnings in C code predating ANSI C.
