setlocale() ignored

[Anon]

Hi,

I'm writing a site supporting 4 languages (english, dutch, french and german). My problem is that setlocale() is ignored.

The following code should change the locale to dutch and then print the current locale.
<?
setlocale ("LC_ALL", "dutch");
print("current LC_ALL is ".setlocale ("LC_ALL", 0));
?>
(yes, dutch is in /usr/share/locale/locale.alias)

The output i get is:
current LC_ALL is C

I have this problem with several versions and configurations op apache+php.
I did all my tests on slackware boxes. Could Slackware be the problem? Or am I missing something here?

I have the same problem on a slackware, but the problem is not slackware cause i have another slackware install where the problem doesnt apears...

I'm having the same trouble with locales: when I set LANG=es (or LC_ALL=es_ES, or whatever it is), Slackware doesn't set the locale properly: when I type 'date', the response is always in English (I'm sure I have all the locales in the proper paths, and I've tested it on several boxes) ¿is there any workaround?
