Bug description: Gettext needs a do_not_use_fallback parameter
Description:
------------
When using gettext($somestring), if $somestring could not be translated,
it is returned without further translation. There should be a possibility
to return a specific value if the string could not be translated instead.
This impossibility is rather annoying when writing a sophisticated i18n
system.
Reproduce code:
---------------
// suggested solution:
$translated_text = gettext("some_string", true /* this optional parameter
stands for "return false if text could not be translated" */);
if($translated_text === false) {
echo "some_string could not be translated!\n";
} else {
echo "some_string is $some_string in your favorite language\n";
}
