gettext in windows

Hello,

I have some programs which are developed on Linux and uses gettext for
the language support.
While they run without problem on a win32 platform i haven't a clue how
to get the gettext stuff working.
Also locale settings are different.

Can somebody give me some pointers on how this sort of thing is
implemented in windows?
I must also confess that i have problems installing GNU/gettext on windows
I'm quite clueless on windows :-)

Thanks,

Stas

You need gettext + iconv, get it from GNU site. Unpack zip archive to
any directory according to your taste (c:\gnu seems to be reasonable
proposition), then add (install-dir)\bin directory to PATH.

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

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
