Gettext problem

[asmar]

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.
