The <b>ngettext</b>, <b>dngettext</b> and <b>dcngettext</b> |
| 53 |
functions attempt to translate a text string into the user's |
| 54 |
native language, by looking up the appropriate plural form |
| 55 |
of the translation in a message catalog.</td></table> |

Plural forms are grammatical variants depending on the a |
| 62 |
number. Some languages have two forms, called singular and |
| 63 |
plural. Other languages have three forms, called singular, |
| 64 |
dual and plural. There are also languages with four |
| 65 |
forms.</td></table> |

The <b>ngettext</b>, <b>dngettext</b> and <b>dcngettext</b> |
| 72 |
functions work like the <b>gettext</b>, <b>dgettext</b> and |
| 73 |
<b>dcgettext</b> functions, respectively. Additionally, they |
| 74 |
choose the appropriate plural form, which depends on the |
| 75 |
number <i>n</i> and the language of the message catalog |
| 76 |
where the translation was found.</td></table> |

In the "C" locale, or if none of the used catalogs |
| 83 |
contain a translation for <i>msgid</i>, the <b>ngettext</b>, |
| 84 |
<b>dngettext</b> and <b>dcngettext</b> functions return |
| 85 |
<i>msgid</i> if <i>n</i> == 1, or <i>msgid_plural</i> if |

<i>n</i> != 1.</td></table> |

If a translation was found in one of the specified catalogs, |

the appropriate plural form is converted to the locale's |
| 96 |
codeset and returned. The resulting string is statically |
| 97 |
allocated and must not be modified or freed. Otherwise |
| 98 |
<i>msgid</i> or <i>msgid_plural</i> is returned, as |
| 99 |
described above.</td></table> |
