perl v5.36.0                                       2022-10-15                                       MAKETEXT(1p)

       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.
         %

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

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

       maketext - translate and make messages

       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.

       -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.

Locale::Maketext(3),              Locale::Maketext::TPJ13(3),               Locale::Maketext::Gettext(3),
       Locale::Maketext::Gettext::Functions(3),  bindtextdomain(3),  textdomain(3).   Also,  please refer to the
