                Basics for setting up localized PHP applications using gettext functions.
              
          
        
      
        
  
      
    Overview
Localizing/internationalizing any PHP application is easy through gettext functions. Basically you'll have a set of localization files (*.po) that have a binary format version (*.mo) across a simple and standard directory structure. Then gettext functions will use existing binary files based on current language locale.
