    First the the url of the gettext manual changed:
    http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/

    Secondly, lets explain a little bit what this fonction does.
    By default, gettext will use the LC_CTYPE of the language you choose (for example fr_FR).
    This LC_CTYPE is extracted from your locales.alias file in your configuration dir (Should be /etc/locales.alias).
    By default, the encoding is frequently iso-8859-1.

    So if you want to make your site utf-8 aware, you need to bind your domain with the right encoding.
    Here is a sample:
    <?php
    $locale    ="fr_FR.UTF-8"
    setlocale(LC_MESSAGES, $locale);
    $domain = 'your_text_domain';
    bindtextdomain($domain, './translations_path');
    textdomain($domain);
    bind_textdomain_codeset($domain, 'UTF-8');

    ?>

    As quoted in other notes, the translations path should be like
    /translations_path
    /de_DE/
    /LC_MESSAGES
    /fr_FR/
    /LC_MESSAGES
    ...

    Your translation goes in the LC_MESSAGES dirs ... Hopes this helps :)

    So, by using this function and by setting the LANGUAGE variable, you should be able to have a functioning i18n system that is not dependent upon a system's locale installation. Here is a sample from a method I created for a language class. Look for it on http://wiki.creativecommons.org/Developer soon:

    function Init ()
    {
    // set the LANGUAGE environmental variable
    // This one for some reason makes a difference FU@#$%^&*!CK
    // and when combined with bind_textdomain_codeset allows one
    // to set locale independent of server locale setup!!!
    if ( false == putenv("LANGUAGE=" . $this->_language ) )
    CCDebug::Log(sprintf("Could not set the ENV variable LANGUAGE = %s",
    $this->_language));

    // set the LANG environmental variable
    if ( false == putenv("LANG=" . $this->_language ) )
    CCDebug::Log(sprintf("Could not set the ENV variable LANG = %s",
    $this->_language));

    // if locales are not installed in locale folder, they will not
    // get set! This is usually in /usr/lib/locale
    // Also, the backup language should always be the default language
    // because of this...see the NOTE in the class description

    // Try first what we want but with the .utf8, which is what the locale
    // setting on most systems want (and is most compatible
    // Then just try the standard lang encoding asked for, and then if
    // all else fails, just try the default language
    // LC_ALL is said to be used, but it has nasty usage in some languages
    // in swapping commas and periods! Thus try LC_MESSAGE if on one of
    // those systems.
    // It is supposedly not defined on WINDOWS, so am including it here
    // for possible uncommenting if a problem is shown
    //
    // if (!defined('LC_MESSAGES')) define('LC_MESSAGES', 6);
    // yes, setlocale is case-sensitive...arg
    $locale_set = setlocale(LC_ALL, $this->_language . ".utf8",
    $this->_language . ".UTF8",
    $this->_language . ".utf-8",
    $this->_language . ".UTF-8",
    $this->_language,
    CC_LANG);
    // if we don't get the setting we want, make sure to complain!
    if ( ( $locale_set != $this->_language && CC_LANG == $locale_set) ||
    empty($locale_set) )
    {
    CCDebug::Log(
    sprintf("Tried: setlocale to '%s', but could only set to '%s'.", $this->_language, $locale_set) );
    }

    $bindtextdomain_set = bindtextdomain($this->_domain,
    CC_LANG_LOCALE . "/" . $this->_locale_pref );
    if ( empty($bindtextdomain_set) )
    CCDebug::Log(
    sprintf("Tried: bindtextdomain, '%s', to directory, '%s', " .
    "but received '%s'",
    $this->_domain, CC_LANG_LOCALE . "/" . $this->_locale_pref,
    $bindtextdomain_set) );

    bind_textdomain_codeset($this->_domain, "UTF-8");
    $textdomain_set = textdomain($this->_domain);
    if ( empty($textdomain_set) )
    CCDebug::Log(sprintf("Tried: set textdomain to '%s', but got '%s'",
    $this->_domain, $textdomain_set));

    } // end of method Init ()

    I had problems with German "umlauts" when using gettext. So, this is how it can be resolved:

    I've put these lines itom my PHP code:

    $domain = "messages";
    bindtextdomain($domain, "path_to_messages_dir");
    bind_textdomain_codeset($domain, 'ISO-8859-15');
    textdomain($domain);

    It works!
