chrisguk Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Hi, I have looked through the forum for a fix for this but I was unable to find one. Basically the code I have provided below is not giving me the correct output in other words changing the text to German. I am using an "Ubuntu" environment with Apache2 and php5 installed. I have checked that php-gettext is installed. I have also attached my .mo file (I have added the .txt extension to upload here) local.php <?php $locale = false; if (isSet($_GET["locale"])){ $locale = $_GET["locale"]; setcookie("locale", $locale, time()+60*60*24*30, "/");// save a cookie } if (!$locale && isSet($_COOKIE["locale"])){ $locale = $_COOKIE["locale"]; } putenv("LC_ALL=$locale");//needed on some systems putenv("LANGUAGE=$locale");//needed on some systems setlocale(LC_ALL, $locale); bindtextdomain("messages", $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."locale"); bind_textdomain_codeset("messages", "UTF-8"); textdomain("messages"); ?> test.php <?php require_once "local.php"; echo $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"]."locale"; //for testing ?> <html><head></head> <body> <a href='?locale=en_US'>English</a> | <a href='?locale=es_ES'>Spanish</a> | <a href='?locale=de_DE'>German</a> <br> <?php echo _("Hello World!");?><br> <p><?php echo _("My name is");?> Bob.</p> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkfreaks Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 found this in the php gettext manual hope it works it said it works without having to reboot the apache or window server. <?php $gettext_domain = 'sk'; // change by language setlocale(LC_ALL, 'sk_SK.UTF-8'); // change by language, directory name sk_SK, not sk_SK.UTF-8 bindtextdomain($gettext_domain, "lang"); textdomain($gettext_domain); bind_textdomain_codeset($gettext_domain, 'UTF-8'); ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisguk Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Hi, Here it is: <?php $gettext_domain = 'de'; // change by language setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE.UTF-8'); // change by language, directory name sk_SK, not sk_SK.UTF-8 bindtextdomain($gettext_domain, "lang"); textdomain($gettext_domain); bind_textdomain_codeset($gettext_domain, 'UTF-8'); $locale = "de_DE"; if (isSet($_GET["locale"])) $locale = $_GET["locale"]; putenv("LC_ALL=$locale"); setlocale(LC_ALL, $locale); bindtextdomain("messages", "locale"); bind_textdomain_codeset("messages", 'UTF-8'); textdomain("messages"); ?> test.php <?php require_once "local.php"; ?> <html><head></head> <body> <a href='?locale=en_US'>English</a> | <a href='?locale=es_ES'>Spanish</a> | <a href='?locale=de_DE'>German</a> <br> <?php echo _("Hello World!");?><br> <?php $world = 'world'; printf(gettext("Hello %s!"), $world); ?> <p><?php echo _("My name is");?> Bob.</p> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisguk Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 I think I have fixed it, I needed to install the de_DE language pack on my server Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisguk Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Hi dark, Unfortunately that has not resolved the issue. I have made a final amendment to the code below, if you can figure out the issue you are a better man than me lol: <?php $gettext_domain = 'sk'; // change by language setlocale(LC_ALL, 'sk_SK.UTF-8'); // change by language, directory name sk_SK, not sk_SK.UTF-8 bindtextdomain($gettext_domain, "lang"); textdomain($gettext_domain); bind_textdomain_codeset($gettext_domain, 'UTF-8'); local.php $locale = false; if (isSet($_GET["locale"])){ $locale = $_GET["locale"]; setcookie("locale", $locale, time()+60*60*24*30, "/");// save a cookie } if (!$locale && isSet($_COOKIE["locale"])){ $locale = $_COOKIE["locale"]; } putenv("LC_ALL=$locale");//needed on some systems putenv("LANGUAGE=$locale");//needed on some systems setlocale(LC_ALL, $locale); bindtextdomain("messages", $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']. "locale"); bind_textdomain_codeset("messages", "UTF-8"); textdomain("messages"); ?> test.php <?php require_once "local.php";?> <html><head></head> <body> <a href="?locale=en_US">English</a> | <a href="?locale=es_ES">Spanish</a> | <a href="?locale=de_DE">German</a> <br> <?php echo _("Hello World!");?><br> <p><?php echo _("My name is");?> Bob.</p> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
