Another gettext problem here.

Gettext works, and everything is seemingly set up correctly. However, I am now faced with the problem that some strings are not being translated on the website, despite being translated in the .po files. Gettext for some reason is ignoring some of the strings...

I find this behavior very strange. Could someone please help me here?

Update:

So... I somewhat fixed my problem, but not completely. It turns out that if I name my files default.po instead of messages.po... The page is mostly translated. Which is odd, because the way I understood it, the files have to be named the same as the domain you choose.

The website is mostly translated now. But it's still strange because there are a few strings here and there not being translated, despite their entries being correctly filled out.

  • Could be anything, starting from *"have you compiled to .mo?"* over encoding differences to some tool in the toolchain doing something wrong. You'll have to troubleshoot and provide some more details here. – deceze Jul 14 '14 at 12:28
  • I have no idea where to start. I have compiled it to .mo yes... it translates half my page. I use PHP with codeigniter, and I use POedit to compile the .mo files with. I also use a custom implementation in my php code to gain the ability to make comments and context entries. But when I check the po files, everything looks like its ok. – Ntikki Jul 14 '14 at 12:46
  • Also.. this is the method I use to implement commenting/context support on my site: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/gettext – Ntikki Jul 14 '14 at 12:48
