+<h2>DESCRIPTION
+<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
+</h2>
+
+
+<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The
+<b>ngettext</b>, <b>dngettext</b> and <b>dcngettext</b>
+functions attempt to translate a text string into the
+user&rsquo;s native language, by looking up the appropriate
+plural form of the translation in a message catalog.</p>
+
+<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">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.</p>
+
+<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The
+<b>ngettext</b>, <b>dngettext</b> and <b>dcngettext</b>
+functions work like the <b>gettext</b>, <b>dgettext</b> and
+<b>dcgettext</b> functions, respectively. Additionally, they
+choose the appropriate plural form, which depends on the
+number <i>n</i> and the language of the message catalog
+where the translation was found.</p>
+
+<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">In the
+&quot;C&quot; locale, or if none of the used catalogs
+contain a translation for <i>msgid</i>, the <b>ngettext</b>,
+<b>dngettext</b> and <b>dcngettext</b> functions return
+<i>msgid</i> if <i>n</i> == 1, or <i>msgid_plural</i> if
+<i>n</i> != 1.</p>
+
+<h2>RETURN VALUE
+<a name="RETURN VALUE"></a>
+</h2>
+
+
+<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If a
+translation was found in one of the specified catalogs, the
+appropriate plural form is converted to the locale&rsquo;s
+codeset and returned. The resulting string is statically
+allocated and must not be modified or freed. Otherwise
+<i>msgid</i> or <i>msgid_plural</i> is returned, as
+described above.</p>

+<h2>ERRORS

+</h2>
+
+
+<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The return type
+ought to be <b>const char *</b>, but is <b>char *</b> to
+avoid warnings in C code predating ANSI C.</p>
