xgettext -L PHP filename.php
- Then, fill in msgstr to translate each msgid in .po file.
- using .po file to generate a .mo file using command like:
msgfmt -o message.mo message.po Then, put the .mo file in correct directory
'''using them in web'''
locale which indicates which language is used is often stored in a session variable. using commands like:
putenv('LC_ALL=en_US');
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'en_US'); // say locale
bindtextdomain("myMoFile", "./locale"); // say locale dir
textdomain("myMoFile"); // say .mo file
in php using gettext(“some msgid”), it will get the indicated language.
