Your page at:
http://www.php-er.com/chapters/Gettext_Functions.html
is very clear!
I have also completed the 'msgfmt' utility, so I have succesfully
created a "binary language file" (the .mo file from the .po file)
But.. unfortunately I still could not manage to get it work :-(
This is what I have done.
On the W2000-webserver, I've put the nl.mo file in the following
folder (directory):
[webroot]\melle\includes\translations\nl\LC_MESSAGES
so, in that directory resides the 'nl.mo' file.
I've altered your .php example to read:
=========
<HTML>
<BODY>
<?
// Bind a domain to directory
// Gettext uses domains to know what directories to
// search for translations to messages passed to gettext
bindtextdomain ('greetings', './includes/translations'); // Set the
current domain that gettext will use
textdomain ('greetings'); # Make an array
# Use the ISO two-letter codes as keys
# Use the language names as values
$iso_codes = array (
'en'=> 'English',
'fr'=> 'French',
'it'=> 'Italian',
'pt'=> 'Portuguese',
'es'=> 'Spanish',
'nl'=> 'Nederlands'
); foreach ($iso_codes as $iso_code => $language) {
# Set the LANGUAGE environment variable to the desired language
putenv ('LANGUAGE='.$iso_code); # Print out the language name and
greeting
# Filter the greeting through gettext
printf ("<b> %12s:</b> %s\n", $language, _("str_hello"));
}
?> </BODY></HTML>
=======
I've put the above .php file in the [webroot]\melle folder.
The (wrong) output is:
English: str_hello
French: str_hello
Italian: str_hello
Portuguese: str_hello
Spanish: str_hello
Nederlands: str_hello
And, in the nl.po file, I have entered:
======
msgid ""
msgstr ""
"Project-Id-Version: \n"
"POT-Creation-Date: \n"
"PO-Revision-Date: 2001-11-14 17:11+0100\n"
"Last-Translator: Melle Koning <hace_x@[...].com> \n"
"Language-Team: <> \n"
"MIME-Version: 1.0\n"
"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8\n"
"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"
msgid "str_hello"
msgstr "hallo"
======
So, what I expected was:
===
English: str_hello
French: str_hello
Italian: str_hello
Portuguese: str_hello
Spanish: str_hello
Nederlands: hallo
===
So this does not work!
Now, what I think could still be going wrong is that 'gettext' is
unable to find the nl.mo file, in other words gettext is unable to
find the right folder(directory)...
My question:
How should I alter:
bindtextdomain ('greetings', './includes/translations');
I have already done this:
echo bindtextdomain ('greetings', '.\includes\translations');
This returns:
C:/Inetpub/PowerPlate/melle/includes/translations
Which seems to be ok, with the difference that I guess windows wants
to have:
C:\Inetpub\PowerPlate\melle\includes\translations
(backslashes instead of forward slashes)?
Any other hints to get gettext to find the .mo files???
