Gettext Demo in PHP

This is a reference code for anyone who is interested in using PHP/gettext to support international message string bundle using portable object (PO) files.

I recommend using POEdit (http://www.poedit.net/) to anyone who would like to get their hands dirty :) It's an awesome tool!

###Determining the available locale supported by your Linux Box

    sudo locale -a 

###Adding new locale support on Linux derived boxes (Ubuntu)

  sudo locale-gen ja_JP.utf8
  
  # chek if ja_JP.utf8 is now an active locale
  sudo locale -a
