Thanks for your input, Thomas. We should definitely have a workaround. I have googled some more, and didn't find any solution to this (but a lot of people having the same trouble).

I think the easiest solution might be replacing line 27 in core/globalSettings.php by

if (!defined('LC_MESSAGES')) define('LC_MESSAGES', LC_CTYPE);

Thomas, could you try if this has the same effect as your workaround?

BTW, re-reading PHP.net's page for setlocale has a discouraging warning:

"The locale information is maintained per process, not per thread. If you are running PHP on a multithreaded server api like IIS or Apache on Windows you may experience sudden changes of locale settings while a script is running although the script itself never called *setlocale()* itself. This happens due to other scripts running in different threads of the same process at the same time changing the processwide locale using *setlocale()*."

So using gettext in Windows with PHP is not really recommended.

OK, no PHP-Error, but still language support under windows seems to fail:

$selectedLocale = setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, $locale);
$e = new Mb_notice("setlocal fuer LC_MESSAGES " . LC_MESSAGES . " auf locale: >" . $selectedLocale . "<");

results in
Notice: setlocal fuer LC_MESSAGES 6 auf locale: ><
[...]

Can anyone confirm this?

Yes, I've experience the same problem...but no solution yet. Where are the Windows gurus?

I will re-open the ticket.

if i see it correctly, we are using lc_messages mainly for _determing_ the right language, right?
So why not just use e.g. LC_CTYPE?
Or something like:

if (defined('LC_MESSAGES')){
    $selectedLocale = setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, $locale);
}
else{
    $saveme=setlocale(LC_CTYPE,0);
    $selectedLocale=setlocale(LC_CTYPE,$locale);
    $saveme=setlocale(LC_CTYPE,$saveme);
}

if we must preserve LC_CTYPE.

Ciao
Thomas
