Hello PHP i18n community,
I built Pterocos - a free online editor that runs PHP code entirely in your
browser via WebAssembly. No installation, no account required.
🔗 Live: https://pterocos.eu.org
📦 GitHub: https://github.com/aminkheddache-dotcom/Pterocos
**Why this might be useful for i18n/l10n work:**
- Quickly test gettext, setlocale(), and locale handling without local setup
- Prototype multi-language applications on any device
- Create shareable examples of i18n bugs or solutions
- Perfect for demonstrating locale-specific formatting issues
- No need to configure PHP's locale extensions locally
**What Pterocos supports:**
- PHP 🐘
- C# (.NET)
- Rust 🦀
- Python 🐍
- Ruby 💎
- SQL (SQLite and DuckDB)
- Lua
The editor runs entirely client-side - your code never leaves your browser.
All data stays local. No tracking, no ads.
**Example i18n use case:**
Create a permanent link demonstrating a specific locale formatting issue,
then share it with other developers or in documentation.
Try it: https://pterocos.eu.org
Would love feedback from the i18n community!
Best regards,
