Hello all,
I have a strange problem with gettext and need your help please.
In the first instance I made a test using the following structure:
includes/tests/locale/el/LC_MESSAGES/
Under the above dir are messages.po and messages.mo generated bu poedit
On the includes/tests/ I placed also the localization.php and test-gettext.php
Localization.php has the following code:
if (isSet($GET["lang"])) $lang = $GET["lang"];
putenv("LANGUAGE=$lang");
putenv("LANG=$lang");
setlocale(LC_ALL, $lang);
$domain = 'messages';
bindtextdomain($domain, "./locale");
textdomain($domain);
and on the test-gettext.php I placed just an echo helloworld to see if it works.
Everything is working fine and I am able to switch language without a problem by
using the ?lang=el_GR
Now, after that test I create new files and generate new po, mo files via poedit
with the following structure:
includes/locale/el_GR/LC_MESSAGES/
with messages.po and messages.mo inside
and my code is under root folder en:
en/
I tried either with el or el_GR(which I think is the right one according to
locale.gen which its output is outlined below:
$ cat /etc/locale.gen
en_US ISO-8859-1
el_GR.UTF-8 UTF-8
en_GB.UTF-8 UTF-8
el_GR ISO-8859-7
None of the translations are working and cannot track where the problem is as
all paths in my code are fine.
I'm just including the localization.php in my forms like:
require_once("../../includes/localization.php");
The funny thing is that everything was working fine in the initial test. After
that test I changed only the directory structured.
Any help is much appreciated.
