Thanks. But it looks like it's more complicated. setlocale(LC_MESSAGES,'0') returns fr_BE, but it seems PHP looks in ./local/fr, not in ./local/fr_BE when searching the catalog files, at least on one webserver. (using PHP 4.1.2, the other PHP 4.2.3). I guess there is some kind of search path to locate the catalog files, with some preference order. Too bad the i18n PHP thing isn't more predictable :-/ Of course, I restarted the webserver (apache reload) between tests, to avoid problems with the gettext cache. I think I'll simply copy ./locale/french to fr, fr_BE, fr_FR And something similar for dutch and german. But I thought there was some better and cleaner way to do it, in a more manageable way. -- Christophe Chisogne http://www.publicityweb.com
