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 <b>-s</b> 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: @localedir@</td></table>
