Freebsd locales (gettext)

Hi,

I have problems implementing i18n on my site hosted on a FreeBSD
server. While it was hosted on a Linux server, there were no problems,
but once I transferred it to FreeBSD, gettext() doesn't translate
anything. Here's my directory structure:

public_html
|-- index.php
`-- locale
|-- en_US.ISO8859-1
| `-- LC_MESSAGES
| |-- OOModelProvider .mo
| `-- OOModelProvider .po
`-- sr_YU.ISO8859-2
`-- LC_MESSAGES
|-- OOModelProvider .mo
`-- OOModelProvider .po

And here's the function that calls php locale-related functions:
/* domain is "OOModelProvide r", language is "en_US.ISO8 859-2"
*/
function setLocale( $language, $domain )
{
@bindtextdomain ( $domain, "/home/darko/public_html/
locale/" );
@bind_textdomai n_codeset( $domain, "utf-8" );

if ( ! @setlocale( LC_MESSAGES, $language ) )
throw new Exception( "setlocale" );
textdomain( $domain );
}

This worked perfectly on Linux, but it doesn't work with FreeBSD. I
read somewhere that libintl needs to be installed for LC_MESSAGES, but
1. it is installed 2. LC_ALL instead of LC_MESSAGES doesn't work
neither.

Another important note: LC_DATE works, i.e. sprintf and strftime
(which are locale-aware) work as expected, that is, they print the
strings in expected languages.

Also, after I do setlocale(LC_ME SSAGES, $language), I call it with "0"
as the second argument and it returns the correct locale set.

Please, if you have any ideas, post them here.

Thanks.

Can someone point me to a definitive source for the answers to the following two questions: 1) In an environment with Redhat Linux 2.4.21-27.0.1, Apache 1.3.31, PHP 4.3.10, and GNU gettext 0.14.1, will using PHP's gettext support along with the GNU gettext utilities work properly? For example, I've seen references to the translated strings in .mo files not always being what appears

I have a problem writing self-testable modules using doctest when these modules have internationalized strings using gettext _('...'). - The main module of an application (say app.py) calls gettext.install() to install the special _ function inside Python builtin. Other modules, taken from a general purpose collection of Python modules, also support internationalisation and doctest testing. For example:

I'm looking at the gettext module for the first time and learning how to write internationalized code in Python. Naturally, I also looked at the original Gnu gettext manual, which mentions that comments can be captured into the .po (.pot?) file for translators' benefit: /* Comment right before the gettext call, obviously in C */ printf(_("Apparently ambiguous string to translate"));

Hi, by definition, strftime() uses the previous setlocale() calls to determine which language to use in returning strings such as week days or month names, depending on the given format. Now, my system seems not to have the necessary packages installed, since I always get "Monday" and "March" etc. whichever language I specify. (No help needed for specifying languages, since gettext() works without problems, which means setlocale()...

You'd think that using things like gettext would be easy. Superficially it seems well documented in the Library Reference(*). However, it can be surprisingly difficult to get the external details right. * http://docs.python.org/lib/node738.html Here's what I finally came up with as the simplest instructions, suitable for an "overview of Python programming" class: Start with the venerable "Hello, World!" program ... slightly modified
