Send me your messages.po file, I try it... Gettext is cool, it works
very well for me...

I would have done this:

putenv("LANG=de_DE");
putenv("LANGUAGE=de_DE"); // better to be paranoid, works for me ;-)
putenv("LC_ALL=de_DE");
setlocale(LC_ALL, "de_DE", "german");

(see some user comments in php manual)

Then you can try to reload the apache webserver
(because of the gettext cache, which could hide modifications).
"/etc/init.d/apache reload" on a Debian GNU/Linux system.
"/etc/rc.d/httpd reload" on RedHat likes

Perhaps check german locales are correctly installed on the *nix server.
(php uses the setlocale() system call). Yes, locales are system
specific. It should be better documented in the php manual :(

> btw! on win32 it works :(

I solved it the stupid way, because locale names are different on *nix
and windows (ex: fr_BE vs French_Belgium). On my test systems, some
aliases were common (french, dutch, german) but the path where php looks
for the mo file was different (ex fr_BE vs french, de_DE vs german).
So I simply copied the /de_DE dir to /german and so on.
(for french, I had fr/, fr_BE/ and french/ as dir for it to work
on 2 linux servers and 1 test NT server :(

Hope it helps,
