Re: Testing help for first translation

[Anadon]

I'm running into trouble on step 1.  It appears that I am following
what is described.

```
anadon@philosoraptor:~/Documen
ts/code/primes$ LC_ALL=UK LC_MESSAGES=UK
LC_CTYPE=UK LANG=UK LANGUAGE=UK gettext --version
gettext (GNU gettext-runtime) 0.21

anadon@philosoraptor:~/Documents/code/primes$ LC_ALL=UK LC_MESSAGES=UK
LC_CTYPE=UK LANG=UK LANGUAGE=UK gettext --help
Usage: gettext [OPTION] [[TEXTDOMAIN] MSGID]
or:    gettext [OPTION] -s [MSGID]...

Display native language translation of a textual message.

  -d, --domain=TEXTDOMAIN   retrieve translated messages from TEXTDOMAIN
  -c, --context=CONTEXT     specify context for MSGID
  -e                        enable expansion of some escape sequences
  -n                        suppress trailing newline
  -E                        (ignored for compatibility)
  [TEXTDOMAIN] MSGID        retrieve translated message corresponding
                            to MSGID from TEXTDOMAIN

Informative output:
  -h, --help                display this help and exit
  -V, --version             display version information and exit

If the TEXTDOMAIN parameter is not given, the domain is determined from the
environment variable TEXTDOMAIN.  If the message catalog is not found in the
regular directory, another location can be specified with the environment
variable TEXTDOMAINDIR.
When used with the -s option the program behaves like the 'echo' command.
But it does not simply copy its arguments to stdout.  Instead those messages
found in the selected catalog are translated.
Standard search directory: /usr/share/locale
