note 28542 added to ref.gettext

Some tips from my Red Hat Linux 7.3 system. It didn't work for me until I set a full locale (i.e. es_ES) with setlocale. I was trying with Michele Manzato's example (thank you!), but as it sets the language without the country, it was failing for me. Here is the example "fixed" with full locale: // Change to script directory // (Not needed in RH 7.3) $path = dirname(getenv(PATH_TRANSLATED)); chdir($path); // Set the language as full locale 'es_ES' $language = 'es_ES'; putenv("LANG=$language"); setlocale(LC_ALL, $language); // Set the text domain as 'mydomain' $domain = 'mydomain'; bindtextdomain("$domain", "./locale"); textdomain("$domain"); // The .mo file searched is: // ./locale/es_ES/LC_MESSAGES/mydomain.mo // or if previous one doesn't exist: // ./locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/mydomain.mo echo gettext("Hello world!"); Hope this helps!
