PHP Gettext: temporary language switch?

Question

Is it possible to temporary switch a language with the php gettext module? I would like to change the language since an e-mail should be generated in two language for two different receivers.

Answer 1

You need to set the LC_* variable(s). Like this:

putenv('LC_ALL=de_DE');
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'de_DE');

renderEmail();

putenv('LC_ALL=en_US');
setlocale(LC_ALL, 'en_US');

renderEmail();
