The work around is explained in this report. And yes, there will be a
5.3.3 which will have the fix in the library used by gettext.

Is there a release date for 5.3.3?  Spent the last few months building a
project in 5.3 and my final steps was to add language support which i
cant do with gettext due to this bug, and to revert to 5.2x would
require other major code changes....

Same problem here with Windows Server 2003 SP2.
This bug prevents me from upgrading to php 5.3.x
It's been 8 months now so I hope this bug will be fixed quickly now.

Hi, the same problem here with Windows XP SP2 and PHP 5.3.1 .  In PHP
5.2, setlocale() call failed, but gettext() used information from LANG,
LC_ALL and LANGUAGE variables. That was good, because I could use
putenv() to change gettext() language on Windows and setlocale() on
Linux.

But now setlocale() on Windows fails, and gettext() always uses system
locale, and messages are not translated. Actually, I don't need locales,
they only bring problems, I'd prefer to always set it to POSIX locale to
get consistent behaviour independent from server setup, but gettext()
requires to use it :(

Same problem here with Windows Vista Home Premium, PHP 5.3.1 in XAMPP.
Is there any workaround  yet?
Thanks

Still same in 5.3.2. Translation is done only to default system locale.
