7)Describe the process of creating a binary gettext .mo file. How would this file be used within a web app?

The process of create .mo file

1. extract all the things we need to translate from a given file to generate .po file. We use command xgettext as, xgettext -L PHP filename.php

2. Then, fill in msgstr to translate each msgid in .po file.

3. 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.
