The gettext functions implement an NLS (Native
Language Support) API which can be used to
internationalize your PHP applications. Please see the
gettext documentation for your system for a thorough
explanation of these functions or view the docs at
http://www.gnu.org/manual/gettext/index.html.
To use these functions you must download and
install the GNU gettext package from
http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/gettext.html
To include GNU gettext support in your PHP build
you must add the option
--with-gettext[=DIR] where DIR is the gettext
install directory, defaults to
/usr/local.
Note to Win32 Users: In order to enable this module on a Windows environment, you must copy gnu_gettext.dll from the DLL folder of the PHP/Win32 binary package to the SYSTEM32 folder of your windows machine. (Ex: C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 or C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32). Starting with PHP 4.2.3 the name changed to libintl-1.dll
