jpayne@68 72 <b>ngettext</b>, <b>dngettext</b> and <b>dcngettext</b>
jpayne@68 73 functions attempt to translate a text string into the
jpayne@68 74 user&rsquo;s native language, by looking up the appropriate
jpayne@68 75 plural form of the translation in a message catalog.</p>
jpayne@68 76
jpayne@68 77 <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Plural forms
jpayne@68 78 are grammatical variants depending on the a number. Some
jpayne@68 79 languages have two forms, called singular and plural. Other
jpayne@68 80 languages have three forms, called singular, dual and
jpayne@68 81 plural. There are also languages with four forms.</p>

jpayne@68 83 <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The
jpayne@68 84 <b>ngettext</b>, <b>dngettext</b> and <b>dcngettext</b>
jpayne@68 85 functions work like the <b>gettext</b>, <b>dgettext</b> and
jpayne@68 86 <b>dcgettext</b> functions, respectively. Additionally, they
jpayne@68 87 choose the appropriate plural form, which depends on the
jpayne@68 88 number <i>n</i> and the language of the message catalog
jpayne@68 89 where the translation was found.</p>
jpayne@68 90
jpayne@68 91 <p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">In the

jpayne@68 93 contain a translation for <i>msgid</i>, the <b>ngettext</b>,
jpayne@68 94 <b>dngettext</b> and <b>dcngettext</b> functions return
jpayne@68 95 <i>msgid</i> if <i>n</i> == 1, or <i>msgid_plural</i> if
jpayne@68 96 <i>n</i> != 1.</p>

jpayne@68 107 allocated and must not be modified or freed. Otherwise
jpayne@68 108 <i>msgid</i> or <i>msgid_plural</i> is returned, as
