gettext

Hi I'm using gettext to add i18n to a web site, and it seems to work fine, but the translation is done randomly. I mean that if you reload many times the page, sometimes it gives back the translated message and sometimes the untranslated one. These are the steps I followed to use gettext with php: putenv("LANG=it"); setlocale(LC_ALL, "it"); bindtextdomain("test", "."); textdomain("test"); print(gettext("This is a test message")); xgettext -d test test.php in the test.po file i have msgid "" "This is a test message" msgstr "" "Questo e un messaggio di prova" msgfmt -vvvv -o test.mo test.po mkdir -p it/LC_MESSAGES mv test.mo it/LC_MESSAGES The OS is FreeBSD 4.6 with apache 1.3.26 and php 4.2.1 Does anybody had the same problem? Thanks, Marco
