Summary: gettext behaves differently in php 5.3.0 (5.2.x
ignored setlocale errors)
Status: Assigned
Type: Bug
Package: Gettext related
Operating System: win32 only - windows xp sp3
PHP Version: 5.3.0

New Comment:
Hi, the same problem here with Windows XP SP2 and PHP 5.3.1 . In PHP
5.2, setlocale() call failed, but gettext() used information from LANG,
LC_ALL and LANGUAGE variables. That was good, because I could use
putenv() to change gettext() language on Windows and setlocale() on
Linux.
But now setlocale() on Windows fails, and gettext() always uses system
locale, and messages are not translated. Actually, I don't need locales,
they only bring problems, I'd prefer to always set it to POSIX locale to
get consistent behaviour independent from server setup, but gettext()
requires to use it :(

Same problem here with Windows Vista Home Premium, PHP 5.3.1 in XAMPP.
Is there any workaround yet?
Thanks

Still same in 5.3.2. Translation is done only to default system locale.

I have got this problem as well. I'd like to add that the system default
language/locale gets translated. But no other languages.
Example:
I have windows vista, English version, and the system default locale is
set to Swedish. The strings that are supposed to be translated are all
written in English; _("Hello World!").
I have made three translations:
./se/LC_MESSAGES/default.mo
./de/LC_MESSAGES/default.mo
./en/LC_MESSAGES/default.mo /*nonsense words/phrases only for testing*/
I always get the Swedish translation no matter what configurations* I
try. If I rename the Swedish translation file I get no translation at
all, only the default string.
* I've tried all kind of parameters for the following:
setlocale(LC_ALL, ...);
putenv("LANGUAGE=...");
putenv("LANG=...");putenv("LC_ALL=...");

As asked by paj...@php.net you can found here an archive with a working
script with 5.2.5 and not with 5.3.0
Tested on Xp pro Sp3
http://www.lanforums.com/dl/gettext-setlocale_BUG_5.3.0.zip
Unzip and launch index.php.
Expected result => print "Hello world" on screen
Actual result => print "bonjour le monde" on screen
