Status: No Feedback

Block user comment: N
Private report: N
New Comment:
Reproduced for PHP 5.3 / Appweb 4.7 / gettext 0.19 on Linux
with code like:
----------------
...
// we want only LC_MESSAGES to be affected, so...
// (according to http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Locale-Environment-Variables.html)
putenv('LANGUAGE=');
putenv('LANG=POSIX');
setlocale(LC_ALL, '');
setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, 'cs_CZ.utf8');
bindtextdomain('messages', '/opt/app/locale');
bind_textdomain_codeset('messages', 'UTF-8');
textdomain('messages');
...
// and now use _()
...
----------------
and /opt/app/locale/cs/LC_MESSAGES/messages.mo file.
Also one can check the following SO link:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10508305/gettext-works-sometimes
Is there any workarounds or something?

Just for a notice, you have to restart Apache (or whatever) every single time
when you do any kind of modifications into the translations file. If you don't,
gettext will sometimes return your new string but instead it will return more
often that string, what's passed to it as an argument. So the translation with
gettext don't work properly if you don't restart your www-daemon.

Same problem encountered with PHP 5.1.0RC1/Apache 2, gettext 0.13.
As mentioned in the previous comment, it seems to be a PHP issue, since the translation is working
correctly via the native gettext command.

same phenomenon observed in project www.emilda.org from different people with different versions of
apache,php,gettext,linux ....
VERY SPURIOUS
i would think it is some major php design bug :-)
