windows - PHP Gettext - No translation

Solution:

Your code mentions this as the return value frombindtextdomain:

C:\wamp\www\new2\www\locale
Copy code

With thesetlocale ofSpanish_Spain.1252 andtextdomain ofmessages, calls togettext will look in this path:

C:\wamp\www\new2\www\locale\Spanish_Spain.1252\LC_MESSAGES\messages.mo
Copy code

But you created the file structure of:

www/new2/locale/Spanish_Spain.1252/LC_MESSAGES/messages.mo
         ^^
         www/ missing here
Copy code

Edit

Okay, so that didn't help. I've created a test script on Windows and using POEdit like you:

$locale = "Dutch_Netherlands.1252";
putenv("LC_ALL=$locale"); // 'true'
setlocale(LC_ALL, $locale); // 'Dutch_Netherlands.1252'
bindtextdomain("messages", "./locale"); // 'D:\work\so\l10n\locale'
textdomain("messages"); // 'messages'

echo _("Hello world"); // 'Hallo wereld'
Copy code

My folder structure is like this:

D:\work\so\l10n\
    \locale\Dutch_Netherlands.1252\LC_MESSAGES\messages.mo
    \locale\Dutch_Netherlands.1252\LC_MESSAGES\messages.po
    \test.php
Copy code

Hope it helps, although it looks almost identical to yours. A few things I found online:

• It's important to set the character set in .po file
• Spaces inside the localization file might have a UTF8 alternative, so be wary of key lookups failing. Probably the best thing to test first is keys without spaces at all.

Solution:

A suggestion: you may need the full locale for the .mo file. This is probably Spanish_Spain.UTF8 or esn_esn.UTF8 or esn_esp.UTF8 (not 1252, as you change the code base).

To track what directory it's looking for, you can install Process monitor (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645). It spews out bucket loads on info, but you should be able to find out which file/directory is being looked for.

(My other thought is to check file permissions - but if you already had something similar in Zend_Translate, then probably not the cause, but worth checking anyway).

Sorry if not good - but might give you a clue.

Solution:

Look here. It works for me on windows and on linux also. The last values in the array works for windows. List of languages names can be found here. My catalogs are in

./locales/en/LC_MESSAGES/domain.mo
         /cs/LC_MESSAGES/domain.mo
Copy code

Solution:

I have never tried using gettext on Windows, but each time I had problems with gettext on linux systems, the reason was that an appropriate language pack was not installed.

Solution:

Problem can be also that when you change your *.po and *.mo files, you have to restart the Apache Server. This can be problem, so you can use workaround - always rename these files to some new name and they will be reloaded.
