 183 <p>If the TEXTDOMAIN parameter is not given, the domain is
 184 determined from the environment variable TEXTDOMAIN. If the
 185 message catalog is not found in the regular directory,
 186 another location can be specified with the environment
 187 variable TEXTDOMAINDIR. When used with the <b>&minus;s</b>
 188 option the program behaves like the &lsquo;echo&rsquo;
 189 command. But it does not simply copy its arguments to
 190 stdout. Instead those messages found in the selected catalog
 191 are translated. Standard search directory: /mingw/share/locale</p>
