NAME
       maketext - translate and make messages

SYNOPSIS
	 maketext [OPTION] [--domain=TEXTDOMAIN] MSGKEY [PARAM...]
	 maketext [OPTION] -s MSGID [PARAM...]

DESCRIPTION
       The "maketext" script translates a natural language message into the
       user's language, by looking up the translation in a message MO file,
       and process the plural transformation with Maketext.

       The "maketext" script is a command-line interface to
       Locale::Maketext::Gettext(3) (and Locale::Maketext(3)).	It can be used
       in shell scripts, etc, to translate, maketext and return the result.
       By this way, it enables Maketext to be integrated into other
       programming languages/systems, like bash/csh, python, PHP, C, etc.  It
       works like the command-line program gettext.

       For example:

	 % maketext -s "[*,_1,virus was,viruses were] found in [*,_2,file,files]." 0 1
	 0 viruses were found in 1 file.
	 % maketext -s "[*,_1,virus was,viruses were] found in [*,_2,file,files]." 1 3
	 1 virus was found in 3 files.
	 %

OPTIONS
       -d,--domain=TEXTDOMAIN
	   Retrieve translated messages from TEXTDOMAIN.

       -s  Adds a new line to the end of the output so that it behaves like
	   the `echo' or the `gettext' command.

       -h,--help
	   Display the help messages.

       -V,--version
	   Display version information and exit.

       MSGKEY
	   The original text used to look up translated text.

       PARAM...
	   Parameters to Maketext for the plural and other text functions.

ENVIRONMENT
       TEXTDOMAIN
	   TEXTDOMAIN is used to determine the text domain when the -d
	   parameter is not given.

       TEXTDOMAINDIR
	   TEXTDOMAINDIR is used to search the message catelog/MO file if it
	   does not reside in the system locale directories.

NOTES
       Maketext language function override, like "quant" or "numerate", is not
       available here.	Suggestions are welcome.

       The current system locale directory search order is: /usr/share/locale,
       /usr/lib/locale, /usr/local/share/locale, /usr/local/lib/locale.
       Suggestions are welcome.
