Answer 1

This is the solution that worked for me. This works on the latest wampserver. (source: http://www.extradrm.com/blog/?p=1035 )

1) Download php-gettext from here: https://launchpad.net/php-gettext/+download and unzip it

2) Add the following files found in the package root in the same folder as test-language.php : - gettext.inc - gettext.php - streams.php

3) Open your php.ini and comment out wampserver php_gettext.dll:

;extension=php_gettext.dll

4) This is the new test file test-language.php

After all of this you must create locale folder, en_US ( or other language ) folder, LC_MESSAGES folder and then put the messages.po file.
