gettext does not work

I try to use "gettext" in my app without success.

Here is my file in which I initialize somethings :

//methode gettext
switch (Input::get('langue')) {
    case 'fr_FR': $boo_retour_putenv = putenv("LANG=fr_FR");
    break;

    case 'en_GB': $boo_retour_putenv = putenv("LANG=en_GB");
    break;

    case 'de_DE': $boo_retour_putenv = putenv("LANG=de_DE");
    break;
}
// comment s'appelle le fichier contenant les traductions ?
$stg_retour_textdomain = textdomain("messages");

// où se trouve le fichier contenant les traductions ?
$stg_retour_bindtextdomain = bindtextdomain("messages", app_path().DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR."lang");

// préciser ici que le fichier des traductions est en codage UTF-8
$stg_retour_bind_textdomain_codeset = bind_textdomain_codeset("messages", "UTF-8");

After this script, all seems OK into the vars.

I have this directories for the translations :

enter image description here

Into these messages files, I can see the right translations. But when I try a :

<?php echo gettext('something') ?>

it is not translated.

I must not be far away from the solution but I would appreciate any help.

NB : It used with LARAVEL 4.2 I use poedit to build the messages.mo

Thanks

Dominique

Try setting the locale with setlocale after the textdomain and bindtextdomain calls:

$locale = 'fr_FR';
setlocale(LC_ALL, "$locale.utf8");
setlocale(LC_NUMERIC, "en_US.utf8"); // for sprintf() etc.

It is very important that the selected locale is present on the system, with exactly the same name as the string which you pass to setlocale. For the above example this means that the fr_FR.utf8 locale must exist. You can check which locales are available with

locale -a

on the command line.
