note 59589 added to function.gettext

Default behavior is name .mo file equally in every language version: === locale_dir --- en_US ------ LC_MESSAGES --------- lang.mo --- sk_SK ------ LC_MESSAGES --------- lang.mo === I think, better form is: === locale_dir --- en_US ------ LC_MESSAGES --------- en.mo --- sk_SK ------ LC_MESSAGES --------- sk.mo === Then the following code works very well (surprisingly on win32 too), and you don't need restart apache and do other confusing things: $gettext_domain = 'sk'; // change by language setlocale(LC_ALL, 'sk_SK.UTF-8'); // change by language, directory name sk_SK, not sk_SK.UTF-8 bindtextdomain($gettext_domain, "lang"); textdomain($gettext_domain); bind_textdomain_codeset($gettext_domain, 'UTF-8'); Have nice day :-) ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gettext.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+59589 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59589&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59589&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59589&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59589&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59589&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59589&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59589&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+59589&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
