1. Hi.

   Use php-Gettext. Many other projects already use it and it doesn’t require Gettext compiled in users system.
   Check it out at I Hate PHP
   Get it at Savannah

   Documentation and examples on usage of both PHP native Gettext at Pablo Hoch blog or on the php-Gettext Class at BlogFish and why should you choose it instead PHP’s default one.

   You will need to use __(‘text to translate’) when you don’t want to use it to return translation or _e(‘text to translate’) if you want to echo translation inside your code.

   Then you can use my bash script (requires Linux and GNU Gettext installed in your local machine):

   #! /bin/sh
