ngettext(singular, plural, n) If a fallback has been set, forward ngettext() to the fallback. Otherwise, return the translated message. Overridden in derived classes.

lgettext(message) If a fallback has been set, forward lgettext() to the fallback. Otherwise, return the translated message. Overridden in derived classes.

lngettext(singular, plural, n) If a fallback has been set, forward lngettext() to the fallback. Otherwise, return the translated message. Overridden in derived classes.

output_charset() Return the “protected” _output_charset variable, which defines the encoding used to return translated messages in lgettext() and lngettext().

install(names=None) This method installs self.gettext() into the built-in namespace, binding it to _. If the names parameter is given, it must be a sequence containing the names of functions you want to install in the builtins namespace in addition to _(). Supported names are 'gettext' (bound to self.gettext()), 'ngettext' (bound to self.ngettext()), 'lgettext' and 'lngettext'. Note that this is only one way, albeit the most convenient way, to make the _() function available to your applicat

charset() Return the “protected” _charset variable, which is the encoding of the message catalog file.

add_fallback(fallback) Add fallback as the fallback object for the current translation object. A translation object should consult the fallback if it cannot provide a translation for a given message.

class gettext.NullTranslations(fp=None) Takes an optional file object fp, which is ignored by the base class. Initializes “protected” instance variables _info and _charset which are set by derived classes, as well as _fallback, which is set through add_fallback(). It then calls self._parse(fp) if fp is not None. _parse(fp) No-op’d in the base class, this method takes file object fp, and reads the data from the file, initializing its message catalog. If you have an unsupported message cata

info() Return the “protected” _info variable.

gettext.ngettext(singular, plural, n) Like gettext(), but consider plural forms. If a translation is found, apply the plural formula to n, and return the resulting message (some languages have more than two plural forms). If no translation is found, return singular if n is 1; return plural otherwise. The Plural formula is taken from the catalog header. It is a C or Python expression that has a free variable n; the expression evaluates to the index of the plural in the catalog. See the GNU ge
