+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The \fBngettext\fP, \fBdngettext\fP and \fBdcngettext\fP functions attempt to
+translate a text string into the user's native language, by looking up the
+appropriate plural form of the translation in a message catalog.
+.PP
+Plural forms are grammatical variants depending on the a number. Some languages
+have two forms, called singular and plural. Other languages have three forms,
+called singular, dual and plural. There are also languages with four forms.
+.PP
+The \fBngettext\fP, \fBdngettext\fP and \fBdcngettext\fP functions work like
+the \fBgettext\fP, \fBdgettext\fP and \fBdcgettext\fP functions, respectively.
+Additionally, they choose the appropriate plural form, which depends on the
+number \fIn\fP and the language of the message catalog where the translation
+was found.
+.PP
+In the "C" locale, or if none of the used catalogs contain a translation for
+\fImsgid\fP, the \fBngettext\fP, \fBdngettext\fP and \fBdcngettext\fP functions
+return \fImsgid\fP if \fIn\fP == 1, or \fImsgid_plural\fP if \fIn\fP != 1.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+If a translation was found in one of the specified catalogs, the appropriate
+plural form is converted to the locale's codeset and returned. The resulting
+string is statically allocated and must not be modified or freed. Otherwise
+\fImsgid\fP or \fImsgid_plural\fP is returned, as described above.
+.SH ERRORS
+\fBerrno\fP is not modified.
+.SH BUGS
+The return type ought to be \fBconst char *\fP, but is \fBchar *\fP to avoid
+warnings in C code predating ANSI C.
