Reading the line <? php setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE'); ?> here over and over again, I have to warn using it, as there are severe caveats. For certain locales, LC_NUMERIC swaps period and comma, which may e.g. lead to decimals silently stripped of numbers, when inserting rows into an SQL database. So DON'T do this, but use <? php setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, 'de_DE'); ?> instead, which does exactly what you want, without any nasty side effecs. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.gettext.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+42142 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+42142&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+42142&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
