All,

I am working on a large-scale internationalization project that use the intl 
extension. I am storing localized strings in ICU resource bundles and accessing 
them via the intl ResourceBundle class. Part of my project relies on the 
fallback functionality of the ResourceBundle class. I have put all the US 
English strings (base language) in the root bundle and created an empty bundle 
for en_US as suggested in the ICU guide. That way if any string is missing in 
the localized bundles, everything automatically falls back to US English.

Fallback works great if I use the ResourceBundles get method, or if I use array 
access (e.g., $bundle->get(‘KEY’) or $bundle[‘KEY’]), but if I try to iterate 
over the en_US bundle’s content with foreach, it returns a null result because 
the bundle is empty. Is there any way to support fallback when using iteration? 
It’s not absolutely necessary for my project, but it seems that if the class is 
going to offer iteration support, that functionality should also support the 
fallback functionality.

Thanks for the help.
